Set to hit the wall - China's Great Wall

MARATHON runners Marilyn Lewis and Kim Arenson, of St Ives, will be in unknown territory when they tackle a goat’s trail in Saturday’s Great Wall Marathon in China.

Lewis, 48, and Arenson, 44, are competing in the 42.2km race for the first time but it is no ordinary marathon.

The race includes running up and down 5164 steps of the Great Wall and crawling uphill on a goat’s trail through the Tianjin province.

With temperatures expected to eclipse 30C, Arenson said it won’t be a race against the clock but a survival of the fittest battle.
