While Gladstone locals are lining up to take part in the upcoming Botanic to Bridge Fund Run, local women Symone Mercer and Tracey Patterson-Kane will be racing on the other side of the world! Seizing the opportunity of a lifetime the ladies will be virtually running with Gladstone in the Botanic to Bridge while they compete in the toughest race they have ever tackled.
Leaving Gladstone on the 10th of August Symone and Tracey are travelling to Scotland to compete in the 215 miles or 346km Race Across Scotland. The race will see the ladies set off from Port Patrick and will finish just outside of Edinburgh. The distance must be completed in 100 hours, and runners must reach specific checkpoints along the way to stay in the race. Symone and Tracey will carry snacks with them to keep their bodies fuelled, and they will have a support crew at checkpoints.
