Steve is also giving a talk in November to the Rucksack club (all welcome).
RUCKSACK CLUB WINTER LECTURE SERIES
“The Wainwright’s 214 Peaks”
An Evening with Ultra-Fellrunner Steve Birkinshaw
Tuesday 11th November 2014,
The Heatons, Heaton Moor Rugby Club. 7.30 start
This summer, Cumbrian fell runner Steve Birkinshaw set a new record for tackling all of Alfred Wainwright's 214 peaks in the Lake District. Steve broke the record set by Joss Naylor in 1987, who completed the challenge in seven days, one hour and 25 minutes. Tonight we will hear about how he prepared for and tackled the immense challenge.
Steve also is a multiple winner of Karrimor Mountain Marathon’s and recent winner of what organisers call ‘the toughest mountain running event ever’, the Dragon's Back Race from Conwy Castle in North Wales to Carreg Cennen Castle in Carmarthenshire along the mountainous spine of Wales, over five days with approximately 220 miles and 50,000 feet of ascent.
The 45 year old university researcher ran the equivalent of two marathons a day completing a total of 320 miles, with 118,000ft of ascent in six days and 13 hours. Steve's sister has Multiple Sclerosis and his challenge raised more than £12,000 for MS charities the national MS Society and a local charity, the Samson Centre. Steve’s talk this evening will raise funds for this charity.
