    I haven't actually counted them to be honest, but a few of yours don't qualify for the Runfurther list. It's not a competition though: I think your list's great.

    Thanks for putting this ultra calendar together on the runfurther site, it's great to have this all listed in one place!

    I love the world of ultra running. Where else would you find a 33 mile race classed as short
    No country for old men.

    Cheers Yaks - I'll add it in when I get the chance. Keep them coming in!

    Just done my February update to the calendar (www.runfurther.com). September 19/20 looks like the busiest Ultra weekend of the year, with 13 separate events going on. I'll be running the Hardmoors 60 that weekend of course! As always, let me know if any are missing/incorrect.

    I think you may have got the ascent wrong in the Pembrokeshire CTS race on 2nd May, Andy (maybe swapped metres and feet?). It comes out above the Dragon's Back, Old Counties Tops and 3X3000 80K on the ascent per mile list!

    Great listing by the way.

    Well spotted - it's actually the climb on the Exmoor CTS race, and I didn;t change it when I copied the spreadsheet row (as you do). There's no ascent quoted for Pembrokeshire on the event website. Anyway, I've taken it off now. The heights are generally from the race website, but occasionally from my own measurement or a blog entry I found somewhere. Thanks Dino!
