Hi all,

Just wanted to plug this new ultra race I'm helping organise.

The race is on Saturday 29th September 2007 and is a scenic 30mile trail race along the canal between Stratford upon Avon and Birmingham.

Also available as a 3 x 10mile relay event.

Further race info is on the site here:

TRA Permit has now been received for this event, so it's all kosher.

I've run along part of the route before and it can be quite pleasant....wouldn't mind doing the run sometime but not this year I'm afraid.
Good luck to you all.

 

[ed_m]

there's always the relay

 

[ed_m]

if you were thinking of entering this you have until midnight tomorrow to enter online, therafter it's first come first served on postal entries.

this race is turning out to be far more popular than we ever hoped !

Results 2007

Well the event went off without a hitch, the weather was kind and everyone had a great day.

Results are up here.. relay results & splits to follow shortly.

And yes that 3:08 for the winner, 2 minutes ahead of the leading relay team.

 

[Katten]

Wow. 30 miles in 3.08...

Sounds like it was awesome, Ed. Are you doing it again next year?

 

[Dan_R]

That is some time for 30 miles!

Hope the entries all worked out OK Ed

 

[ed_m]

Yup it's an impressive time alright... but it was expected... he's local and quick!

It seems likely we'll run it again next year, a few lessons learned behind the scenes.

Entries were good thanks, assuming we have all the cash

 

[ed_m]

[Dave]

Good luck with the event Ed.........

I`d love to join in.....

But I`ve got to wash my hair that day........................:d

 

[Granty]

Ditto for me Ed as well

Enjoy!

 

[ed_m]

trust me.. running it is far easier than organising it

 

[becca]

Can you run half of it.

 

[ed_m]

ah.. i should say... there's a relay option too so if you fancy a day out with a couple of friends you could do 10miles each.

 

[Katten]

27th Sep... If I'm in the country that day, I might come along...

Hang on...

Did I just almost say I'd do an Ultra?!?

 

[Edward Chapman]

I will be there.

A good warm up event before the New London to Brighton.

 

[ed_m]

crazyness..... we have an entry limit of 60.

it's 27th feb, 7 months away and we have 40 entries.

this is the only race i've organised but that's just bonkers.

(you have been warned!)
