I met Tom a few days ago at The Outward Bound Trust Camp In Wales, Aberdovey. He was very friendly and told us about this! :)

There's a future Kilian Jornet there. Nicky Spinks was right to pick up on the fact he's well beyond his years in his ability to understand pacing, and something about his running form seems incredibly natural. A wonderful father and son adventure.

Spot on, watch this space I'd say. Wonderful story and great film work, well done.

Seeing a dad and son with this kind of bond gives me hope and inspires my soul...

You inspired me to do something challenging with my 13 year old. This film was brilliant!

That’s fantastic 😀👍

Amazing kid, Tom. Extremely lucky to have such a father. His running form is so efficient and flawless. He definitely has a bright future ahead of him.

Yes, they're both really inspiring eh!

That was so superb.

An inspiring story of a man and his son sharing the challenge and joy of running through some of the most spectacular terrain in the UK. The interviews with other local runners adds to the cultural tradition of the fells and the hardy people who grow up there to this day. This video brings back fond memories of me taking my son, and later my two daughters, on camping trips to the Lake District. My son was only 10 when we walked togther over some of the iconic hills of the area: Scafell Pike, Haystacks and Helvelyn. Some years later, my youngest daughter was so inspired by a trip to Snowdon when she was 14, that a couple of years later she did the 3 Peaks Challenge. Unfortunately, I wasn't fit enough to go with her, so a good friend of mine helped out. They both completed the challenge well within the 24 hours. I did manage to start with them, as me and my eldest, my son, took a more leisurely hike up and down Ben Nevis. We then drove through the night to meet them at Snowdon. Epic times, unforgettable experiences that bond people for a lifetime.

I really enjoyed your video thank you , what a great team.

Thanks very much for filming and sharing! Lovely story, well told and well shot. Congrats to Tom & Huw both for imagining and completing such a cool goal in their own 'backyard' (and it's hard to beat a backyard like Snowdonia ;-) )

Loved this!!

What a brilliant film and what an inspirational young man! He must have very proud parents!

Well done Tom, what an incredible achievement.

So much respect for both the 'lads' and for the amazing support team. Greetings from Sydney, Australia

A group of us had the privilege of running this round on Tuesday, well loved it! Thanks so much for creating it and being involved with this video that inspired us to give it a go.

Lovely film and well done lads what a great effort (effortlessly it seems!) by Tom.

What a fantastic film and awesome tale. Hope Tom keeps smashing those hills maybe setting a few round records one day!!

Incredible!

That looks like a stunning round. What a great effort from Huw and Tom, inspiring stuff.

Superb run guys. Love going wild camping with my 10 year old, so it was brilliant to see this. I'm inspired to drop my big boots and dig my fell shoes out! Well done.

Truly amazing and beautiful both at the same time what a talent, I had a tear. in my eye watching this as a father of an 8 yr old boy

The kid is like "So, are we doing that again tomorrow?" LOL - great job:)

Awesome! My son (now 17yrs) runs with me regularly and has done for a number of years. My daughter (15yrs) has also outside of her netball excursions. Trail running is so good for the soul and connecting with each other. The family that exercises together stays together. Well done Tom, Dad, support runners/crew and family.

the little lad is a great example of what all kids should be

Congratulations to this young boy!! He´s got the mountain legs, indeed. I hope he keeps running for the joy of it. Digging every kilometer.
