Wasdale Fell Race – Sat/Sun 9/10 Jul
From Joe Morrell… ‘Wasdale’ is a word that strikes a certain level of trepidation in most fell runners, it has a reputation of being a brute, with not only 34km and 2,870m to contend with but also some of the roughest ground in Lakeland. As Wordsworth said, ‘deepest lake, highest mountain, hardest fell race’ or […]
Ilkley Half Marathon – Sun 10 Jul
From Rumana Chowdhury… A PB this was not to be! Another fantastic Ilkley Half – well organised with amazing crowds and marshals. In fact I got so carried away with the shouts of encouragement as I flew down The Grove that I totally missed the first water station, which turned out to be a big […]
Race to the Stones – Sat 9 Jul
From Lynn Donohue… This 100k race follows the ancient Ridgeway track from the Chilterns in the East to Avebury stone circle in Wiltshire near Marlborough and Devizes. There are some options with a 50k, a 50k overnight camp then 50k or the non-stop 100k. This was a sequel to my 50 @50 challenge when in […]

‘A Bob Graham attempt’ – 6/7 Jul
From Andrew Merrick… 66 miles, 42 peaks, 27,000 ft of ascent A Bob Graham attempt had been in my mind for a few years, if I was going to take on one of the rounds, this was the logical and only possibly achievable one to have a go at. A number of running and non-running […]

Val d’Aran PDA – Thu 7 Jul
From Petra Bijsterveld… Peades d’Aigua means ‘water footsteps’ in Aranese, the local language, and the route of this Spanish trail race takes in more than 20 lakes. As I passed them I did think how lovely it would be to be out on a leisurely walk with plenty of time to look at them and […]
