Laura catches up with sustainability strategist and B Leader Hannah Cox, fresh from her over 4,000km journey tracing the Inland Customs Line in India as part of Project Salt Run.
This isn’t just a race report about 100 days of marathons: it’s a deep dive into the messy reality of “dirt bag” activism, ancestral reckoning, and the sheer grit required to turn a colonial horror story into a £1 million legacy for climate resilience.
Hannah opens up about:
- The “Dirt Bag” Reality: Battling acute gastroenteritis in the Indian heat and the 12-hour Punjab biscuit delivery that kept the mission alive.
- The Great Hedge of India: Tracing a forgotten 2,500-mile “living wall” of thorns and why re-mapping this history is vital for modern corporate accountability.
- Radical Sustainability: Why she chose to “make-do-and-mend” her kit—literally stitching her shoes back together with tyre rubber rather than following the standard ultra-running consumption model.
The Homecoming: The Indian leg covered 98 marathons, making Brighton Marathon (April 12th) and the upcoming London Marathon the final two legs of the 100.
