A test of fitness and stamina, the ‘Race the Sun’ is not an event for the fainthearted, but with the prospect of helping children’s charity Action Medical Research accountant Stuart Harries is relishing the challenge.
A keen sportsman, Stuart is a partner at WBV Ltd – one of South Wales’ largest independent firms of chartered accountants.
Starting at sunrise and finishing at sunset on August 30th, the ‘Race the Sun’ challenge through the Lake District involves teams of four people undertaking a 50 mile bike ride, a hike to the summit of Helvellyn (3,116ft) and canoeing a 3km course on Lake Thirlmere.
