In the spring of 2021, as the UK's latest pandemic lockdowns were
lifted, Nick Butter set out from the Eden Project to become the
fastest person to cover every mile of Britain's mainland coastline
on foot. Battling the most extreme winds Britain had seen in 100
years, days of torrential rain and the unrelenting hills of Western
Scotland and Cornwall, Nick suffered two broken bones and countless
injuries, whilst taking on two marathons a day, every day, for 100
days. Covering an extraordinary 5,250 miles, running for over 12
hours a day, struggling to take in the 8,000 daily calories
required to fuel his body, Nick battled sleep deprivation and
extreme weight loss as he pushed his body and mind to their limit.
Supported by close friends and family (including his
ever-dependable right-hand man, Andy Swain, whose diary extracts
feature in this book), Nick experienced spiralling lows and
euphoric highs. As he traversed footpaths, country lanes and busy A
roads, he passed through over two thousand coastal communities,
buoyed along by supporters cheering from windows, balconies,
passing cars and pavements, by school children and fellow runners,
and by the stunning sights and sounds of the British coast. Run
Britain is Nick's account of his extraordinary adventure.
