James once again takes on a massive challenge and again comes out on top 💪
A 24 hour run where competitors can run as many laps of the course as they can.
James managed to rack up 6 laps meaning he ran a marathon on the Loch! Outstanding 👏👏

#ProjectBreakpoint is BACK, and this time it’s just a little matter of a Tough Mudder 15k!
A 15k run with 30 of the world’s greatest obstacles, Tough Mudder will challenge you physically, mentally and spiritually. Obstacles include, crawling through mud, extreme cold water dips (and not exactly clean water!), a lot of climbing, oh and finishing up with some electroshock therapy 😅
Once again, though, we are absolutely proud to say our Patron James SMASHED this challenge, as he has with every other one he has taken on during #ProjectBreakpoint.
Who knows, on the back of this we may even put in a team for next year.
Tough Runners first Glasgow run, and James absolutely SMASHES it!
Set on the beautiful Mossneuk Farm, this is one of Tough Runners toughest 10k’s. A continuous “up and down” as you make your way around the magnificent farmland running on road, grass and even cobbles.
Another event ticked off towards 12 over 12 months for James, as #ProjectBreakpoint continues on. Well done again, James.

“Genuinely one of the hardest events I’ve done!”
James took on the MacTuff challenge, branded Scotland’s toughest, in his first of 12 events across 2022 for his Project Breakpoint. A 15km assault course, there were plenty of water dunks and jumps, with the organisers confirming the water temperature was as low as -6°! A tough one to start, and James managed to knock it out the park.

Hi! My Name Is James Mackay And I Suffer With Depression. My Journey Is No More Significant Than Anyone Else's But What I Will Say Is That I'm Grateful To Be Alive. I'm Also Grateful For The Friend That Reached Out To Me From The C9 Foundation And Offered Some Much Needed Reassurance. Part Of My Recovery Involves Fitness And Raising Awareness, If I Can Help Just One Person Overcome Or Avoid The Pitfalls That I Found Myself In, Then That Is A Place Of Privilege For Me. I Aim To Make My Kiltwalk 2021 Slightly Extraordinary So Keep An Eye Out For Further Updates. Any Donation You Can Spare Will Mean The World To Me And My Chosen Charity. Thank You!
A fantastic amount raised by Alan (ran a half marathon), Colin (walked 26 miles) and Joseph (walked 26 miles) on our first ever Kiltwalk participation! On top of this, some conversations were kickstarted along the way, also helping us to kick some of the stigma attached over the course of the training, and event itself.

Tell us about your challenge: We are committing to walk 5k per day, every day, in March. This is an extremely challenging goal for myself, as someone that suffers from a lower limb disability, a chronic pain condition and depression. Thankfully my Mum has decided to accompany me to help me and push me on during this challenge and to challenge herself.
