  • The Ring O' Fire might be the best kept secret in the ultra running world. This is a coastal ultra race which takes runners on an extraordinary 135 mile journey around the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales. The epic foot race is staged over three consecutive days and follows the rugged and spectacular Anglesey Coastal Path.
    Almost the entire coastline of Anglesey has been designated an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty". Set against the dramatic backdrop of Snowdonia mountain range, runners will challenge themselves in some of the most awe inspiring coastal scenery in the British Isles.
    Beauty aside, the extreme distance and variable terrain has sealed the race's reputation as one of the most challenging ultra marathons in the British Isles.

    Congratulations Marcus - not only for that tremendous 2nd place finish, but also for making a superb film about the experience. I love the spirit you show with the locals who are managing the race, the aid stations, and who clearly love the event and its community. There was also a similar, special feeling in your GAX video: the grass root ultras are really worth a lot of love and support.
    It was also good to see that your diabetes, while still needing careful control, did not badly affect your race. You help many people who manage chronic illnesses yet sustain ultra running by giving them hope through your example that it's still possible to persevere and excel. Thanks!

      The massage was the key to the success and quick recovery. It was remarkable how I recovered in-between the days and also after the race. One week after the race and I was doing serious intervals. Must have been the best recovery ever

    I can’t decide if it will be harder/easier to quit ultra running as long as your videos are around. Probably harder! So impressed over your achievement but also the number of ultras you have done in the last couple of years
