Vasque Ultra Series

[mxhornet]

Looked at having a go last year with a lot less notice.

I think I can get my 4 in ok.

Was already planning Highland Fling anyway.

Wye ultra, Marlborough Downs and D&P would be my easiest logistically I think. Only High Peak 40 clashes with anything.

A lot will depend on how Rotherham goes, as to how serious a crack I have at this.

here you go for dates. Plan away!

Excellent!

Can't see any reason why I couldn't manage 4 - the early part of the year is a bit of a problem, taken up with training for some little road race down in London in April, then a Joss Naylor Challenge with a mate in May and West Highland Way in June...

So Wye Ultra, Osmotherly Phoenix, Lakeland 100/50 and Lond Mynd look favorite for me, might be able to fit in Wuthering Hike, Pumlumon and High Peak 40 (though only a week after the Lakeland, no chance if I do the 100!)

Question is, going on this years prices, can I justify the Lakeland entry fee having already shelled out for WHW?

Suprised the Fling is a long, it's 53 miles and very runnable. What's the record? sub 7 hrs? or not far over 7. For an ultra I wouldn't class that as long.

Anyway may try and get a few of the shorter ones done. Still teeing up whether to run in the fling now I've dropped out of the WHW due to a fixture clash with the British Champs Tebay race..tempted for the 3 peaks instead (normally same weekend I think).

[mxhornet]

I've not done either but I can't see Highland Fling being much different in difficulty to the Long Mynd which is in as a long again this year. I'm presuming 50 miles is point at which something becomes long for this series.

Fellsman is usually 1st Jan

[mxhornet]

I thought it was a lot later in the year than that.

On edit - May 9th.

I was talking about when it opens for entries. The race itself is always the first weekend in May.
