On Friday, July 4, Bob Yates completed his extraordinary 1,030-mile journey from Land’s End to John O’Groats, marking the end of a five-week ultra-endurance challenge to celebrate his 60th birthday. He was welcomed at the finish line with a dram of whisky and heartfelt applause from supporters — a fitting end to a monumental achievement.

A Journey of Endurance and Purpose

Bob ran the equivalent of an ultra marathon each day, following a route that took him:

• Along the rugged coastline of southwest England
• Through Exmoor National Park
• Into Wales and past Preston
• Across the border into Scotland
• All the way to John O’Groats

The journey tested him physically and mentally. He battled a bad ankle early on, endured extreme weather ranging from heatwaves to storms, and pushed through fatigue, blisters, and tough terrain.

Reflections from the Finish Line

“I’m exhausted but delighted to have crossed the finishing line,” said Bob. “I know once it’s sunk in that I’ve done it and the feet have stopped aching that I’ll look back and really appreciate all the work I put in to achieving this.”

Bob’s transformation over the past six years — from a sedentary office worker to a dedicated ultra-endurance athlete — has been remarkable. The last three and a half years, especially the past six months, were filled with intense training, including multiple marathons and ultra marathons.

Running for a Cause

Bob’s run wasn’t just a personal milestone. He raised over £5,000 (with donations still coming in) for Humanity Direct, a charity that funds life-saving and life-changing surgeries for children in Uganda.

“I wanted this run to really achieve something,” Bob said. “Every mile meant more donations, which means more children get the safe surgery they need. That thought kept me going through the bad ankle, bad weather, and blisters.”

A Word from Humanity Direct

Marc Shalam, Co-Founder of Humanity Direct, praised Bob’s achievement:

“Bob is nothing short of an inspiration. We’re incredibly proud he chose to dedicate this challenge to Humanity Direct. His incredible achievement has helped raise thousands of pounds to fund vital life-saving and life-changing operations for children who don’t have access to the medical care they need.”

Donations are still open. Every pound goes directly towards life-transforming surgeries. You can donate to Bob’s fundraising campaign, visit: https://www.humanitydirect.org/bob/

Event and Course Overview

The race commenced at Matterley Bowl, near Winchester, the ancient capital of Saxon England, and led runners eastward along the chalk ridgeway. The conclusion is at the Eastbourne Sports Club Athletics Track. The course covered 100 miles (161 KM) with an elevation gain of 12700 ft (3800 m). A unique 4-mile (7.2-mile) loop through the private Matterley Estate started the race, which runners were advised not to recce beforehand.

Participants were subject to a strict 30-hour cut-off period. The race featured two waves: Wave 1 started at 05:30 and Wave 2 at 06:30. Only runners in Wave 1 were eligible for overall awards, while age group awards could be won from either wave.

Mandatory equipment included a fully charged mobile phone, minimum 1 litre water capacity, a survival blanket or bag, a waterproof jacket (minimum 10000mm+ with sealed seams), a whistle, a headtorch, a backup light source (both minimum 100 lumens from Washington onwards), a long-sleeved base layer or fleece top, and a cup or mug. A one-hour time penalty was imposed for any missing mandatory item.

Pacers were permitted from the Kithurst Hill Crew Point (mile 50), with only one pacer allowed to accompany a runner at any given time. Pacers were required to wear a Pacer Race bib. Each runner was allowed one crew vehicle on the course, with access limited to designated crew points.

To qualify for the event, participants needed to have completed a minimum of a 50-mile distance race within 15 hours between January 1, 2020, and race day.

You can take on the challenge solo or as part of a team of up to six members. Teams have the flexibility to decide who runs and how many laps each member completes. For those in a team, the option to run the final lap together and cross the finish line as a complete team is available from 13:30 onwards. Walking is also permitted as part of the event.
