An American view of our sport.
"I guess you do it for the hills. Running in the hills has always been done here, because it's something unique and beautiful to do. To have these scores of lovely hills and not to run in them—well, that would be even stranger, wouldn't it?"
For the power of hills is on thee,
As was witnessed through thine eye....
Sleep well, Mr. Wordsworth. And farewell to the lofty fells of your lovely Lake District.

Is this a texan BG
no wonder it's so hardBob Graham, a 42-year-old teetotaler who ran a guesthouse in nearby Keswick, set out to see if he could run up and down the region's 42 fells in 24 hours. He did them all—32,000 feet of ascent, 130 miles of running and walking. Nowadays a runner must complete the Bob Graham Round in a single day to gain admittance to the Bob Graham club. Only 500-odd have done so.
