Do you mean a road type surface? I think there is definitely a missed market there, I really missed 20 mile races when training for Amsterdam last Oct. I like to do a mixture of 20s, some on my own, some races - there are summer 20s out there but they all seem to be very off roady "challenge" events where you have to self navigate etc. |

Would be laps of Caldecotte lake & yes 95% of it is cycle path & firm gravel trail - the surface certainly wouldn't affect your time that's for sure.

Sounds good, its more the stopping to read a map break in running I could do without. I would def be interested.
