Ian Lowther's Race Across Scotland: The Sequel
Ian Lowther's Race Across Scotland: The Sequel
My Story
This summer, Ian will once again be competing in GB Ultra's 'Race Across Scotland'; a remarkable and unique 215 mile, coast-to-coast ultra marathon following the beautiful Southern Upland Way.
Returning to take on one of the toughest ultras, this time as a GB Ultra Ambassador, Ian will have 100 hours to complete this epic challenge along the beautiful Scottish coastline, over mountains, along valleys and through the beautiful forests of the Southern Uplands.
Ian took on this challenge in August 2022 and raised an incredible £4,700.00 thanks to his employer's, Erwin Hymer Group, generous match funding.
"I participated in RAS in 2022 and had an amazing experience, it was the first time I had participated in a Race of this distance and I loved every second of it. Everyone was so helpful, especially the volunteers and fellow runners.
The race was both challenging and addictive in equal measure and that’s why I’m returning in 2024. The GB Ultras community is an amazing community and I feel very lucky to be part of it.
During Race Across Scotland 2024, I will once again have my amazing on course support crew with me, John Stokoe and David Robinson. They are two of my closest friends and have been with me since the start of my ultra running journey."
Ian’s inspiration came from his grandma, Marjorie Curry, who passed away from liver and lung cancer aged 69.
Ian said: “In 1998 my grandma was admitted into the hospice where she received end of life care. The level of care and the passion shown by the staff and everyone, it was just absolutely incredible and left a place in my heart. I knew that one day I had to come back and say thank you. This challenge and many others like this was my way of saying thank you.”
We are honoured that Ian, John and David have chosen to take on Race Across Scotland again this year in aid of Willow Burn Hospice and hope you will all get behind his inspirational fundraising efforts.
