Alexandra Ehlen of Northwich will take on Malham Cove, Malham Tarn, Fountains Fell, Janet’s Foss, and the Yorkshire three peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough, which has a total ascent of around 8,500 feet.
She will be attempting this colossal 50-mile challenge to fundraise for the SSAFA, the Armed Forces Charity. SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, is a trusted source of practical, emotional, and financial support for serving personnel, veterans, and their families in their time of need.
Alexandra will run The Pennine Barrier Ultra 50 Mile on May 6, and Alexandra has set a target of £500 for SSAFA, and although there is some way to go, she aims to smash it.
Most recently, she ran GB Ultra’s Manchester to Liverpool 50 Mile race on Good Friday, however, says that this will be her hardest single-day challenge to date.
