TERREX Coast to Coast by Tarquin Cooper
Race reportI took part in the adidas TERREX Coast to Coast race over the August Bank holiday weekend. It’s a four day multi-sport stage race across some of the most spectacular mountain country of northern England and a great race for anyone looking for something a bit different. It begins in Whitehaven with a 12km sea kayak to St Bees, the traditional starting point of the walker’s coast to coast route.

Opinion varies as to which is the easier/faster/better direction to do as the the downhill sections on the down run over the distances involved conspire to be as damaging as the up sections.
