I'm sure the RO won't mind me putting this on here....

there's a new AL race in Shropshire, the first running of which will be on Sunday 14th May. The South Mynd Tour and visits some parts of the Long Mynd not even Mercia Fell Runners have reached. It's a scenic 23km (14-ish miles) with 1270m of climb (4160-odd ft) and is a bit of a brute. Lots of it is very runnable and there is a degree of route choice, right from the start. Details and a map can be found here:
