I have seen 10 in 10 days - same course and he may have to do that for the charity he is deciding to do it for. But does anyone know of anything that does different courses etc? Cheers in advance.

Foxy Oct 2013 9:48am, 20 Oct 2013 29,325 posts	0 Foxy I believe the forces march has changed for next year so all days are at least marathon distance or heard a rumour of that - I'm with Mr A on that one. Bolton Hill 5 in 5 a month from now ? Barrow Challenge you can go up to 20 in 10 days so that could accomodate 5 in 5. The Irish 10 in 10 in July is another option at Sixmilebridge in July - I did 2 days this year hoping for 3 or 4 next year. Savage 7 over Christmas in Florida 735 Laps of a 400 metre track ? I could squeeze him into 5 days of the Enigma 7 in 7 in March - Tue - Sat would give him 4 different courses over 5 days - drop me a line if he's interested ? Daft idea all this multi day marathoning
