Just checked out the Hardmoors website www.hardmoors110.org.uk
and next years Hardmoors is £40 to enter before December!!!!!! I know marathons that charge more than that!!!,
Its a fantastic race in a stunning area, freindly marshalls and a real grassroots feel to it..Try it out, Ive run it twice and really enjoy it, much, much kinder on the feet then the UTLD.
I must admit, I'm tempted. Think I'll try the Osmotherley Phoenix or the 55 first, though! What time of year is the 110?
1st weekend in June 2012, plenty of light, cheers
Can experienced competitors run without support, other than that provided at the checkpoints ?

Hi John
Yes they can if they have run an event like the Lakeland 100, the UTMB, West Highland Way Race or something simmilar. I think they can have 2-3 drop bags. I guess Jonathan Steele will be able to answer this fully try him at [email protected]
cheers:thumbup:
Thanks, will get in touch with Johnathan :thumbup:

Right that`s that sorted I have been in touch with Johnathan and been cleared to run unsupported and yes there is the Facility for 3 drop bags which is ample for me.
The parts of the route I know and from poring over the maps for the bits I don`t know makes me think that this will be an event where maybe I should get focused and go for a time, as the terrain appears to lend itself to a reasonably quick Ultra Shuffle, which just maybe the UTLD does`nt,but we shall see
Anyway first off will be to enter while it is still only 40 Quid now that does seem like value for money (36p a mile)

Well I have entered as an unsupported runner, so looking forward to a good day out on a route that will be new to me, I won`t be doing any recce`s as I prefer to go at new routes unseen.
Get in quick if you want to catch the 40 quid entry as it goes up a fiver to £45 (still a bargain though) at midnight.

Gonna see how my knee survives High Peak Marathon first before committing (assuming my team gets in!).

I quite fancy this, but i'm already committed to RatRace Run The Wall instead - it's going to be my first ultra.... but if I enjoy it then i'll be looking for events for 2013
