Many other races do this too, but Peris's terrain and altitude really works you from the start to the end - it's brilliantly relentless. It's my favourite race and one i take very seriously. I won't do it if i'm not fit - you can't bodge it really.

It's a notch up from Borrowdale in terms of difficultly and as a race, but a notch down as an event as it has very very small fields, which is a real shame. I'll be there this year - can;t wait
This was a British champs race in 2006 when 148 finished and 20 of us didn't. It was a rather hot, windless, humid day as I recall and I bonked on top of Snowdon and just couldn't get going again. Might try the early start this year or the half if it's hot, windless and humid.
