Patricia Patterson Completes the National Three Peaks Challenge From Sea Level in Under Six Days

There is a version of the National Three Peaks Challenge that most people never attempt. Forget the classic twenty four hour dash between car park and summit. Patricia Patterson set out to climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon the hard way, starting and finishing each one at sea level, with nothing but her own legs to carry her between the mountains. She…

The Speyside Way: 86 Miles of Whisky, Water and Wild Cairngorm Air

Picture this: dawn breaking grey and pink over the Moray Firth, the tide pulling back off the sand, and ahead of you, somewhere south, the high tops of the Cairngorms waiting under cloud. That is where the Speyside Way begins, and for 86 miles it does not let go. This is one of Scotland's Great Trails, and it earns the title by following the River Spey itsel…

Christof Teuscher Conquers Mt Adams to Mt Hood Self-Supported, Setting New FKT

There is a particular kind of madness that begins with a root canal and ends on the summit of Mt Hood three and a half days later. Christof Teuscher knows it well. On 10th June 2026, with his jaw still numb and a full day of work meetings barely behind him, he drove straight to the base of Mt Adams and started climbing into the dark, already exhausted before…

Thirty Days Alone: Jamieson Hatt Completes the Longest Unsupported FKT in History on Wisconsin's Ice Age Trail

Somewhere in the pre-dawn dark of a Wisconsin spring morning, Jamieson Hatt laced up his boots and stepped back onto the trail. He had done this twenty-nine times already. His feet knew the ritual. His body had long stopped asking when it would end. On 24 May 2026, after 30 days, 8 hours, 59 minutes and zero seconds of moving entirely alone and entirely self…

John Kelly Blazes the Damascus Dash in Under Seven Hours

There is a particular kind of morning that feels made for running. The air is clean after days of rain, the trails are soft underfoot, and the world seems to have been scrubbed fresh overnight. That was the morning John Kelly stepped out from Boots Off just after 9 AM on 29 May 2026, pointed himself at the Damascus Dash, and got to work. A week of heavy rain…

David Fournel's Epic GR70: When the Dream of a Record Gives Way to the Fight to Finish

There are races where everything clicks. And then there are the ones that break you open and demand something far deeper. David Fournel's attempt on the GR70 Chemin de Stevenson in France was both, often within the same agonising hour. The Chemin de Stevenson is no ordinary route. Stretching 276 kilometres across the rugged landscapes of the Massif Central, …

Tyler Andrews Conquers Everest in Under Ten Hours on His Seventh Attempt

Some dreams take seven attempts to become reality. On the night of 28 May 2026, Tyler Andrews left Everest Base Camp just after 7pm, headtorch cutting through the darkness, and did not stop moving meaningfully until he stood on the roof of the world nine hours, fifty-five minutes and forty-three seconds later. It was his first summit. It was, by any measure,…

Hegemann Conquers the Sella Ronda in 5:03:01

The Dolomites do not give themselves away easily. Their jagged limestone towers rise from the Val Gardena like the teeth of some ancient giant, indifferent to the tiny figures who dare to circle them on foot. On the morning of 28 May 2026, Ida-Sophie Hegemann laced up her shoes and took on the Sella Ronda in unsupported style, completing the iconic Italian c…

Blind Athlete Kyle Coon Conquers the Manitou Incline in Under 39 Minutes

There are no handrails on the Manitou Incline. There are no lane markings, no painted kerbs, no visual cues of any kind to tell you where the next railway-tie step begins or where the mountain edge falls away. For most runners, that is challenge enough. For Kyle Coon, it is simply the starting point. On 7th September 2025, the totally blind American athlete …
