Southern Upland Way

This long distance footpath runs from Cockburnspath on the East Coast to Portpatrick on the West, and is 212 miles (341km) in length.

The official challenge is to run it in this direction as a five-person relay, splitting the route between the team in any way you want. The only other rules are that the team must run together for the first and last quarter mile of the journey, and each team member must be accompanied by another responsible adult if running in the dark. The record for this challenge is held by Carnethy HRC (John Coyle, Jamie Thin, Adam Ward, Garry MacInnes and Mark Johnston), who did it in 1996 in a time of 27 hrs 39 mins. At the same time Carnethy also set the ladies record of 35 hrs 51 mins, with a team of Nicki Innes, Angela Mudge, Anne Nimmo, Kay Dodson and Hilary Spenceley. There's a report here
