Run the Capitals – a 900km journey connecting the UK and Ireland

Running the London Underground was not enough for ultra runner Jonny Davies, who is currently over 700km into his next running fundraiser – Run the Capitals.

Davies, 32, has set out to run to the five capital cities of the United Kingdom and Ireland.

In total, Davies is facing a 900km challenge in just 11 days, with a total elevation gain of over 8,500m, almost the height of Mount Everest.

The challenge started in Edinburgh on 12 September, running 186km across Scotland before boarding a ferry to Belfast, then continuing down Ireland for 174km to Dublin.

Once in Dublin, Davies boarded a ferry to Holyhead and he has spent the last five days running 326km south to Cardiff and continuing through the night to Newport, hitting the 700km mark.

As Davies reached Cardiff Castle late on 20 September, he was surrounded by a group of local runners all hoping to boost his morale and support him as he locks in for the last three days of the challenge.

“It means everything, I would still be stuck in Scotland if it wasn’t for these guys here,” Davies said.
