According to the official Ring-O-Fire website, this is sure to be a difficult feat for those competing but they’ve no doubt been training long and hard for this!
Ring O’ Fire is an annual 135 mile coastal ultra marathon circumnavigating the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales.
This epic foot race is staged over three consecutive days (Start 1300hrs 30 August 2013 – 1 September 2013 ) and follows the rugged and spectacular Anglesey Coastal Path around the island. The extreme distance and variable terrain places Ring O’ Fire as one of the most extreme ultra marathons in the United Kingdom.
Prior to the start of the race, Prince William will meet with his fellow runners and their families, before embarking on the journey himself.
Editor’s Note: Contrary to our earlier report, Prince William will not be competing in the race – only setting off the starting gun.
