The 2012 John ‘O’ Groats to Lands End has completed its sixth day and of the eleven starters 4 remain. The longest multiday race on the UK ultrarunning calendar is a serious challenge with the runners having 16 daily stages to cover the 860 mile distance from the North of Scotland the most south-westerly point in the UK at Lands End.
The runners have to average 55+ miles each day and the pressure has had its toll on the field. Rainer Koch, no stranger to long multiday and stage races, has a 25 hour lead after 6 days.

The weather in the UK is wet and windy over the last few days and the showers look set to continue for the next 10 days or so.
