A trail race where they get snow would be more fitting for you, and they probably don't exist. 6633 looks more like experiencing the life of a Victorian explorer with a safety net; :shock: and 8-) in equal measure.

Barkley Marathons would be a good one if you can get on it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barkley_Marathons

There was a really good documentary on Netflix about it but looks like it’s been taken off. Worth watching if you can find it

When you put it like that it does sound right up my street.

@240PP - I remember 14 years ago someone bought me a book when they heard I was doing the MDS and that had the Barkley detailed and it was incredible reading about it. I love the attitude the organiser has and it just sounds like an incredible experience. That documentary was really good - there's a couple of good vids on YouTube about it too.Sounds utterly demoralising and a proper adventure.
Cheers,

Mike.
