Just out of curiousity (since I'm not going to run it!) - is this the most ascent per mile of any race in the calendar?

I think Pedol Peris is 2400 isn't it?
Which is 7800 ft if it is?
Looking at the record though its 14 miles in only 3 hrs, where as the Peris record is 17-18 miles in 3 hrs.
Oops ascent/mile, sorry.
No, I think there will always be short races that can beat it on that measure (Chapelgill?) but it must be the most ascent in any 14 mile race!Originally Posted by gej
Which just shows what a toughie this is! That record of 3:07 was by Billy Bland too - which underlines that this is one of that elite group of long tough races which can be counted on the fingers of one hand. If it took Billy over three hours it's definitely hard! Billy apparently moaned that there wasn't enough running in it(almost unheard of for Billy!)
Is that so, I'll have to check this one out!Which just shows what a toughie this is!
