TRAIL RUNNING

I entered the Rhodes Dryland Traverse in 2018 , but in the end was not able to take part due to work commitments , so when Modern
Athlete Editor Sean Falconer offered me a chance to take part in the 2021 race and to write about it , I jumped in with both feet . I not only finally got to tick it off my bucket list , but also to see just why everyone raves about it and keeps going back year after year .
