Project Salt Run
Follow the incredible story of Hannah Cox as she takes on the challenge of a lifetime, training to run across India as part of Project Salt Run. But this podcast isn’t just about her journey, it’s about a collective adventure. We dive deep into the intersection of history, sports and resilience, uncovering the stories of dreamers, doers, and trailblazers who redefine what’s possible.
Through thought-provoking interviews and inspiring conversations, we tackle the obstacles faced by individuals pushing boundaries and explore the triumphs that remind us of the power of human spirit. Together, we’ll unravel the threads of history and humanity that connect us all.
Join us for a journey of inspiration, exploration, and discovery.
New episodes released weekly as we count down to the team at Project Salt Run heading to India to run the Inland Customs Line... Thats 100 Marathons in 100 days starting on 25th October 2025.
