This June, Discovery Channel will join Sean Conway on his daring and unconventional attempt to run the entire length of Great Britain, from John O'Groats to Lands Ends, covering nearly 1000 miles in just six weeks. SEAN CONWAY: RUNNING BRITAIN charts Sean's extraordinary run south, the equivalent of 38 consecutive marathons, going off-road and completely unsupported, carrying all his own kit and sourcing the food and water he needs along the journey. With no set route or confirmed locations to set up camp, other than at his mum's house in Cheltenham, Sean's course was shaped by tips from the locals he met along the way, searching for the best possible route through the cities, towns and countryside of Britain. The show captures Sean's highs and lows along his epic six week journey, from illness and injury, to the friends and fans he meets and inspires him along the way. Watch to see if he manages to complete this herculean task, setting a new record in British ultra-sports, by becoming the first person to have swum, cycled and run the length of Britain, the ‘Ultimate British Triathlon.'
