I’ve taken part in a number of Rat Race events and without fail they’ve been fantastic: really well organised, challenging and fun, but without the over-competitive focus of some other events. Most recently I’ve completed the Isles Ultra - running the length of the Hebrides - and I’ve no doubt that this has been the best event of the lot. Managing a trip like this must be a logistical nightmare, even before our weather/ferry challenges, but our event leader James handled it all so brilliantly and always with an amazing aura of calm. The rest of the crew were equally fantastic, producing huge amounts of tasty food/encouragement/jokes/hugs (but definitely not Compeed) whenever we needed them. I had a variety of fears coming into this (injuries/prep/everyone else being super-elite athletes etc) but the Isles Ultra was one of the best things I’ve ever done, and a big part of that was down to the group dynamic. Whilst there were definitely some amazing athletes among us I never felt out of my depth and the camaraderie and group support was such a huge part of this. I’ve spent most of the journey home working out which event I want to do next (the list is long).If you're on the fence about entering something like this, don’t hesitate - you absolutely should. I can't recommend it enough. Thank you so much Rat Race for a truly outstanding experience
