I am really keen to find a race to take part in, which I would like to be above a Half but potentially Marathon or short Ultra. Just wanted to know if anyone could recommend anything that they have taken part in, as the trip isnt yet booked would be an opportunity to convince my girlfriend that it can slot into the schedule!!
