Jon at Backhouse Jones tackles “the Lap”

05 September 2023

Many of you that attend the BACK Academy training courses will recognise Jon Myhill, an integral member of our training team.  Jon is a familiar face on many of our training sessions, both long and short. A pioneer of course design, lively host and tech whizz working tirelessly in the background to make sure the training runs smoothly. On Saturday 9 September 2023, Jon will be running his own marathon – well, to be specific –  ultramarathon as he takes part in the Lap.

The Lap was created to provide a gateway event for runners and walkers to step up to ULTRA distance, without the worry of navigation, food or exposure to really bad weather.  The course is a beautiful 75K/47 mile, fully signposted trail ultra marathon,  following some of the most stunning, runnable and best way-marked trails in The Lake District. Jon is hoping to complete it in under 14 hours, having previously competed in a longer event which he completed in 17 hours.

All the best Jon!
