Trek FX3 for the London to Brighton Trail Run

[The Jogger]

My mate is doing the London to Brighton trail run in Sept 56 miles. He wants me to support him by riding it and bringing the drinks and food etc. I don't own a MTB but have a Trek FX3 which I was thinking of putting cross tyres on. Do you think this wouyld be up to the job?

I don't know **** all but could you hoon it round the road instead and meet him where they meet?

Not sure, probably but as I done most of my running on trails I would prefer the scenic route.

I rode my trek Valencia down the downs link from Guildford to Brighton. I had heavy panniers and swapped slicks for cross tires and it was ace.
