Scilly 60: Race Special

5 Islands, 60k, 6 races, 3 boats and 150 runners.

Sounds straightforward?

Welcome to the Scilly 60, brainchild of our last guest Wez Swain and his Scilly 60 Events company.

Basically a 60k sprint which includes 5 boat transfers (some short, others up to 45 minutes) where runners charge around some of the UK's most picturesque islands in the hope of beating the clock and not missing the boat.

Those not quick enough are given a coconut and a volleyball to name and might be collected by Wez or adopted by locals until next years race.

There are no guaranteed finishes on this race and as I found out there are plenty of things to trip you up, literally and metaphorically.

I'm joined by Wez himself on this episode as we discuss the ups and downs of the Scilly 60, a race which involves a lot of fun punctuated by some running!

I hope you enjoy it.
