The route
follows the classic journey from John O'Groats to Lands End. The route
through Scotland follows the A9 down to Inverness, then follows Loch Ness to
Fort William, up through the idyllic Glencoe Pass onto Glasgow and then
through the lowlands to cross the border.
From here, the route goes over the Shap 'wall' along the A6 down to Ludlow
where we cross over into Wales. The old Severn Bridge welcomes runners back
into England and the turn for home down through Taunton, Okehampton, St.
Austell and Cornwall's famous Lands End landmark and the finish tape.
