In this episode of Idiots Go Running, we chat about what actually goes into building a ridiculous endurance event like MS Runs Ireland — our 350-mile run from Mizen Head to Malin Head.

Crewmen, accommodation, sponsors, merch, route planning, fundraising, logistics, panic, spreadsheets… and somehow, Colin has ended up being called the race director.

Which is terrifying for everyone involved.

We talk about the behind-the-scenes work that turns a mad running idea into something that almost looks like a real event.

In this episode, we cover:

• Building the MS Runs Ireland challenge
• Planning a 350-mile run across Ireland
• Multi-day ultra running logistics
• Crew, support vehicles and accommodation
• Long-distance running preparation
• Sponsors, merch and event branding
• Ultra marathon mindset and planning
• Fundraising through endurance running
• Does being organised makes us any less stupid... it does not.

This is another honest, funny and slightly chaotic look behind the scenes as the team gets closer to the start line.
