WE DID IT

The 230K For Rangers Ultra marathon started on my 65th Birthday. In the shadow of Mount Kenya, we ran through multiple conservancies teeming with East Africa’s iconic wildlife while supporting the brave rangers.

The self-sufficient ultra (carrying all our own food, sleeping bag, sleep mat, compulsory medical kit etc) was split over 5 days so we completed a marathon each day under the watchful eye of the Rangers, we shared our days with rhino, elephants, impala, zebra, giraffe and more. The challenging terrain varies from baking grasslands, rocky hills, riverbeds and montane forest. 

In this beautiful place, a war is being fought. A war between armed and organised poaching cartels and the Rangers. The Rangers are the thin wall separating Africa’s last remaining elephants and rhinos from a multibillion-dollar trade in wildlife goods.

Kevin (my husband) and I have raised £1,300 on top of the entry fee to the race that directly goes to The Rangers for essential equipment, from boots to insurance for their familes if the worse was to happen while out in the field.
