A few of us Fell Ponies are doing the Northumberland Coastal Run this weekend. This is to support our near relations, the Beach Donkeys. :)
For the uninitiated, the Northumberland Coastal Run is a bit like the Marathon des Sables, only much shorter and with less sunshine, and instead of grumpy camels you have to contend with Geordies.
What kind of shoes are best for beach running? Studs? Cushioned road shoes?
Trail shoes? Advice please.
Sandshoes?;)Quote:
