On the subject of races with more than a mile of tarmac, but otherwise look quite interesting, in Llani's part of the country: I'm considering the Baslow Bolt. One more negative aspect is the rather early start time (although 10:00 is late compared to the stupidly early starts of many trail races): this likely to require use of the 07:17 train from Loughborough.
