Two extreme athletes are preparing themselves for one of the toughest challenges of their lives: over 1,000 miles of intense kayaking, hiking and biking, and all for a good cause. They are braving this feat in order to raise money for Cancer Research and they hope to be able to raise a whopping sum of £25,000.
They have chosen this long and agonizing course because, although it will be painful, cancer patients suffer much more. Unlike Bruce Duncan and Anthony Emmet, they cannot take a break from the physical strain that comes along with this disease that grips one's body.
Their planned itinerary consists of a 65-mile run and a 874-mile bike ride followed by a kayak race. In total they will be covering over 1,000 in fewer than 7 days. Such a plan can only be given one name: The Epic Tri.
Both athletes recognise the challenge they're facing, but admit to being stubborn. Although this may seem fairly demanding, neither Bruce nor Anthony is a stranger to such physical challenges. Bruce has won the Wenger Patagonian Expedition three times over!
They will be crossing the mountains of the Lake District, traversing the country from Land's End to John O'Groats and passing through villages and towns along the way, so come and cheer them on! They deserve it!
