Marc Laithwaite - Lakeland 50 & 100 #246

As the ballot opens for the 2027 Lakeland 50 & 100, we thought it was the perfect time to spend an hour with one of the main men behind the event, Marc Laithwaite. Marc brings a mix of funny, heartwarming, and genuinely inspiring stories that capture exactly why this race is so special. And beyond the running, the event has now raised over £1,000,000 for charity, which is just incredible. It’s one of the absolute highlights of Gary’s year, and he cannot wait to toe the line again in 2027. And with the race celebrating its 20th anniversary, 2027 promises to be a truly special year. **HARRIER** - Use code **TATP10** for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMea **XMILES UK** - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeR **FENIX LIGHT LTD** - Use code **T&T5** for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/ **PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION** - Use code **TEA2026** for 15% off your first order **PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER** - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25z **STRAVA** - Use code **TEA** for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Ad https://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEA **SUNGOD** - Use code **TEAANDTRAILS15** for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gb **CENTURION RUNNING** - Use code **TEAANDTRAILS10** to receive 10% off all orders https://www.centurionultrarunningstore.com/ \*Excluding Sale Items **BEARHUG** - Click the link to receive 15% off your order. https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/PAmERmkwPeal Content contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you. **Brew with the Coaches** - CLICK HERE Hardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/ Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/ 13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/ Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/ Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/ Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/ Run The Wild - https://runthewild.co.uk/ Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/ Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/ Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/ Yellow Belly Ultra - https://yellowbellyultras.co.uk/ Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/ XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/
