You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Hello, I am looking for a running partner to join me as part of a team entering this year’s three peaks yacht race in June.
We will be sailing on board a J92 racing yacht, from Barmouth up to Fort William with stops at Caernarfon and Whitehaven to allow myself and runner #2 to run up Snowdon and Scafell pike. To finish, we run up Ben Nevis and then down to the finish line in Fort William.
I should add that it's our first crack at this race so we don't expect to win it or anything, but we hope to finish it and have a laugh along the way..
About me - I am not the quickest on foot but will keep going - I am currently covering 40 - 50 miles a week here on the Malverns with long runs (20ish miles/4000ft ascent) at around 10min/mile average pace. And recce trips planned in the forthcoming weeks. There will probably be some sailing training too if we can all get together at the same time.
I would hope to achieve roughly the following times in the race...
Snowdon - 4hrs
Scafell Pike - 7.5hrs
Ben Nevis - 3.5 hrs
The race starts on 7th June and typically takes 4 - 6 days.
Lots of information including details of the running routes can be found at www.threepeaksyachtrace.co.uk
So if you fancy joining our adventure this summer please get in touch via PM or email - mail at laurence-wilson dot co dot uk.
Many thanks,
Laurence.

Will PM shortly.
I've done the 3PYR 3 times before, finished every time, no racing snake but absolutely love it!
If I can't do it I'll certainly pass on details to some other mates who might be interested too.
