FURTHER EAST
This event listing is from the ADVNTR archive. Dates, entries and details were correct when published and may no longer apply.
A far cry from the mountains of France – Further East Endurance Race takes place in the East of England and tackles the roads, tracks which are hidden in the depths of this flat and expansive part of the UK.
The route of FURTHER EAST has been planned by Josh Ibbett, and takes us on his home tracks as well as further eastern tracks. A surprising mix of old landscape and new. Along rivers, manmade landscapes and roads that go back millenia.
