We tried to run across Wales in a day (77km)

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to run across a country. So, we decided to try and run 48 miles (77km) across Wales in one day. Starting in Anchor, we would run an ultramarathon through Llanidloes, the source of the River Severn, Pumlumon Fawr, Nant-y-moch and end in Aberystwyth. This is a video about that adventure.

Thank you to everyone involved in this project.

Partner for the run: Alex 'Hurricane' Hurrell

I don't. even run but I love your vids. What charisma and talent for film making!

[--Taz--]

Very ambitious, really well done. And that average pace across 77km through all that different terrain, simply incredible.

[gary]

Da iwan chi....very well done in Welsh...I believe!!!

I remember doing my Duke of Edinburgh along the eastern border of Wales. Even there it's really empty. We barely saw anyone for 3 days.

[mustardmarx]

Great video as always! Nice and sort of surreal to see you pass through my beautiful home town of Llanidloes.

[BABSollie]

I still can’t get over how much of an achievement this is Harry! My favourite run you have recorded. England is the next challenge!

[GGCommunity]

Incredible achievement, guys! Interesting to see the source of the Severn, a river I run alongside most days in Worcester.

Quality capture and edit really took me along for the ride. I appreciate the enormous effort involved.

Congrats! - Mack

[MikeOnslow]

So impressive! Well done guys! Harry, it never fails to amaze me how you can continue to present to camera so effortlessly during a run, especially a 77km run!

[jeinsenlam]

The drone footage is always so beautiful. Well done on your run! Poor alex looked so broken.

[chrisbowman]

This video hit home hard for many reasons. A proud Welshman here and I recently signed up for my first ultra next year. This video was entertaining, beautifully filmed and as always inspirational . Well done jog on team what an outstanding achievement.

[Snaerffer]

This is just fantastic. Anytime you’d like to run across my country I’ll be happy to help out. 🇦🇺

[FaithandFun-wq]

Fantastic upload. Thank you for sharing.

[JM-rmlt]

Will watch after parkrun. Going for under 23 for first time in 4 years. Nervous!

[yorygibson]

i live in aberystwyth and your a mad lad well done. i loved how you captured wales beauty. this really hit the heart

[cameirusisu]

would love a route of this. The bit you start at, the Kerry Ridgeway, is a great place to run/bike along, nicely isolated but with great views out west. And Hafren forest is one of the hidden gems of Wales, the entire UK really. Usually not that busy, but lovely trails through the forest, up to Plynlimon and the source of the severn and Avon rivers, and if you are lucky you can see ospreys over Llyn Clywedog. Its a really lovely place.

Harry needs to take on the Comrades Ultramarathon in South Africa. 90km all in one go.

[michaelbooth]

If i chose to run across a country i would go to Andorra. Great effort.

[jennywilliams]

Amazing, awesome, fantastic, tremendous, just wow!

[jacksworld]

Ive been waiting weeks for this vid!!!
