 Welcome to film my run on this beautiful evening. It is a lot calmer than it was when I was here this time last year. We're on a hill fort and we are overlooking the town of St Peter's Port in Guernsey for the gun 31. 31 miles, that's not actually quite 31 miles but 31 miles ish all the way along the coastal cliff section of the Guernsey coast all the way to the end, 16 miles and then all the way back, 16 miles ish, 15, 16, 14, something like that. Starting at midnight the idea is to get back here by 7.30 in the morning or sunrise time, cut off I think is 7.30 in the morning. So let's have fun and enjoy it. Don't be scared. Right this is Tom who won this race last year Tom. What's going on? I've got no one here again to blatantly honest, I'm actually in bed by now. No it's good, much nicer than last year. Are you looking at a time? Hopefully five and a half. Well the cuts off seven and a half hours and I did seven hours 36 minutes. So you've got a score to settle haven't you? How's your name? Tom Chamberlain. Right Tom. I was the only person that didn't finish the course last week. Half kilometers into five miles, one hour 13 minutes. Basically the entire cliff coastline of Guernsey is littered with these steps. Make sure we go the right way, there's these red markers here to tell us that's wrong and the white markers here tell us we're going the right way. So the first place runner has gone by, second place is coming through now. Well done buddy, he really isn't far ahead. He's dropping me out, he's cracking us. Good job. Well done buddy, what's your name? Graham. Well done Graham, good job. Fourth place. Living the dream dude. Living the dream. Right so this is the halfway aid station, 24 ish kilometers, 23 in a bit something. So the car here is 330, 3 and a half hours? Yeah. Car here is 3 and a half hours and I've just made it the eight minutes to square. Hello mate. Good job. Hello Tom. Still climbing steps. Four hours, 10 minutes, 29 kilometers. So just over 10 miles left to go. This is the difficult section now. Lots of hillage to climb, 500 meters left to climb but getting there, so 11 kilometers to go. 6 and a half miles, 7 miles. I'm going to get in under 7 hours but I don't think I'm going to manage it. But I've also got a guide about 200 meters behind me chasing me down. 4 kilometers to go. I've not made it in 7 hours but I've held off the guy behind me. I should finish in about 7.08. Just coming up now. Hard work that but a better time than last year and here we go. Here he comes. Here's our final runner coming at the end of gun 31. Well done Tom. Well done. I must have thought about quitting about 100 times. That's what an ultra is all about. That's what they thought. Yeah my children said don't come home until I'm finished. Well there you go then. So there we are. I managed to finish in 7.08 so quicker than last year. This time last year I was just coming into the finish just before 7.30 which is the cut-off time and I managed to catch the sun just peeping over the horizon. What a great end to a fantastic run. All in the dark. 29 miles even though it's called the gun 31. It's about 29 miles from here at the fort all the way out over the cliffs and back again and it's a great run. Come and do it next year. It's tough. The cutoffs are hard but if you train you can do it. I know you can. And that's it. That's it from Guernsey. We'll probably see you next year for the Guernsey 36. Until then take care. Thanks for watching. See you again for another marathon, another ultra, another crazy adventure next time. Bye bye. So Peter how's it gone today? It's gone well. Yeah for some people it's not gone so well. Well he is a it's a tight cut-off that isn't it? It is a very tight cut-off. It's a tough race. It's supposed to be a tough race. So you so that is deliberate then? It is deliberate. So who should come and do this race? Anybody who wants to challenge really, anyone who thinks they can do it, I mean there's a there's a kind of dual cutoff if you like. So if you get in seven and a half hours you get a medal and a t-shirt. If you get in about nine hours then you get a t-shirt but no medal. But it's also good for people who maybe are trained for other races or they're looking to step up to a longer race that extends into the darkness and they haven't done a lot of running, trail running in the dark. It's a safe race for doing that. There's lots of race support. You're never really far from civilisation even though you actually feel like you are as you know. So it's good for that as well. Is it easy for people living in the UK? Is it easy to get to Guernsey? Yes it's there's lots of flights and not so many boats at this time of year. It's not so easy as in May when the G36 is on. But yeah there's a lot of plenty of options of flights. Some people choose to come stay overnight, the night before. Some people come in on the Saturday and go on the Sunday. Yeah I mean I flew in at four o'clock yesterday sat in a cafe and then raced at 12 and I'm flying back today so I haven't even needed a hotel. Yeah so it makes it fairly cheap as well. Yeah but it's good. You don't get the full beauty of the online G36 because it's dark but you do get this sense of isolation. So it's a particular kind of race isn't it? You need a challenge. You're looking to step up. You want to do some night running. You've maybe got another race coming up that has night running in it and you need to practice or you need to practice on the cliffs or you just want to do something completely different for the adventure of it? Yeah absolutely and I mean I can't stress the safety as well. You get the feeling of isolation but you're never actually really far from civilization and we have motorized sweepers to go around. The extremely safe environment. If you might be nervous at night running in other locations you don't need to be nervous in Guernsey it's perfectly safe. So if you've never been to Guernsey before why not and maybe you're new talk to running why not come and do G36 if you love it which you will come and do gun 31 and have a real challenge. Thanks Peter. Thank you. Right I'm going to go and sit in a cafe for hours.
