WIN a copy of @PaulTonkinson’s new book Running Through Sand along with a Beginner Trail Bundle from Harrier Trail Running worth £85.
Join Paul as he takes on the toughest footrace on Earth, the Marathon des Sables. While training for the event, calves explode, tendons pop, knees disintegrate. Years come and go, time seems to be running out as the race seems an impossible dream and then, in 2024 when fitness is finally achieved, a freak accident. Paul is run over by dogs, hospitalised, all hope is lost…
Spring 2025, the planets align. Tonkinson snags entry to MDS, two months till race time. It’s on – the last hurrah. Get the gear down from the attic, apply the toe jelly and find that mandatory whistle.
With such little time to train, he can’t compete any more that’s for sure. So the question is more basic: can he possibly finish?
Along with the book, kickstart your own trail running journey with the Beginner Trail Bundle from Harrier Trail Running. Equipped with essential gear like a race vest, soft bottles, and a mini first aid kit, this bundle has everything you need to take on the trails.
By entering you agree that your email address will be added to both the UKRunChat and Bloomsbury databases.
We will have one winner who will be chosen at random on Sunday June 28th.

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.
Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.
A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.
😳 Benni McCarthy and Quinton Fortune both absolutely speechless following South Africa’s 2-0 defeat to Mexico in the World Cup opener last night 🇿🇦📺

@tonyfarmery Rashford is more dangerous, been playing well at Barca.
I just don’t think Gordon is anywhere near good enough
Technique
Decision making
I think he’s poor
“This is the best opportunity I’ll get in my career to win a World Cup” 😏
Harry Kane feels he’s coming into this World Cup the fittest he’s ever been 💪
