Ultra Great Britain 200 Mile
Ultramarathon has been run from Southport
THE Ultra Great Britain 200 Mile
Ultra-Marathon set off from Southport, at 6am, on Saturday 20 August 2016. Well
forget the Olympic Marathon, this is a Unique 200+ mile Ultra-Marathon that
follows the Trans-Pennine Trail. It covers a variety of terrain over the
Pennines and combines a mixture of natural trail and urban trail. The event uses
Live Online GPS Tracking of all taking part, to ensure no cheating takes place;
plus check points along the way. In the past between 100 to 249 runners took
part in the race. This year the number of participants was capped at 200. The
event attracted huge attention in the running world, with participants, both
male and female, some coming from as far as Singapore to take part! Sadly, many
locals, despite the press publication, did not realise this event was being
started from Southport, but the early start probably did not help either. These
are a few photographs taken of them setting up on Friday Night. To find out more
