The Commonwealth 24 Hour Ultra Run



The Scottish team tent

I went to watch the start of this competition at midday on  Friday 23rd not really believing that the competitors would still be running around the the track in 24 hours time.....it seemed impossible.

After cheering Sharon on and watching all the other competitors from Wales, Scotland, England, Isle of Man, Canada,  India and New Zealand. etc I got on with my chores and also went for a lovely walk to Deganwy. It is such a scenic walk but  Meanwhile the laps were being completed by those stalwart athletes.

At 11 pm I  decided to head out to see what was going on.  It was quite an unusual scene to come upon in the middle of the night seeing some people running, some walking while having a bite to eat or drink as they continued on their way. Some runners did look like it was hard going but others showed no sign of struggling. About 12.15 I headed off home to bed leaving them to many more laps of the course.
