I Didn't Know If I'd Finish Until The Last Mile | UTS 100M 2026

In May 2026 I stood outside a hostel in Snowdonia, looked at the mountains and said something I'd never said before. Not "I'm training for my next ultra." Running my next ultra. What followed was 46 hours and 59 minutes across 165km and 9,600m of climbing through some of the most brutal mountain terrain in the UK. UTS 100M — widely regarded as the hardest 100-mile mountain ultra in Britain. 280 runners started. 112 finished. This is the full story — the hope, the despair, the bogs at 3am, the hallucinations, the hailstorm on Snowdon, and the question I was left with at the finish line. For every runner who toed that start line — finished or not — this one is for you.
