The concept of Everesting is fiendishly simple: Pick any hill, anywhere in the world and run repeats of it in a single activity until you climb 8,848m – the equivalent height of Mt Everest. Complete the challenge, and you’ll find your name in the Hall of Fame, alongside the best runners in the world.
