The weekend saw Louise Smart take on another ultra challenge, this time the Liverpool Leeds Canal Race. The race follows the 130 mile towpath of Britain’s longest man-made waterway, including the mile long Burnley Embankment (up to 60 feet above ground level) and the Bingley Five Rise Staircase – both of which are listed among the “Seven Wonders of the Waterways”. Despite the high temperatures, and testing route, which resulted in the early retirement of many participants, Louise powered on with her usual tenacity and determination, to finish on Sunday morning as first female and sixth overall! Amazing achievement.
