In the early hours of Sunday, 22 April, I joined Mal Law and several other trail friends to support Mal in the latest lead up event to his CoastPathRun challenge, Everest in a Day. The idea was to run up (and down) North Head some 148 times in 24 hours, being the equivalent of 8848m elevation gain (the height of the summit of Everest).
I "ran" with Mal and others for close to 2 and a half hours - covering a total of 7.5km for 400m of elevation gain - nothing compared to the 8848 achieved by Mal over 25 hours!
Here are some photos of the day:
