I reckon a bit of walking will be needed to keep us together as want to enter as a family event. Mid year sometime. Pretty relaxed with location but I'm Lancashire and fellow runner is South Midlands. Separately I'd like to dip my toe into multi day, 2 or 3 days, A bit more on the wild side. Not one of these 25 miles a day over 2 days with entertainment at a Butlins type mid race stopover. More the bivvy bag in the hills. A mini Cape Wrath Ultra? cheers

Sold out for this year, and sells out very very rapidly (all 125 runner places were gone by 9:30am on the day it went live), but in terms of where you are located it's spot on between Lancs and S Mids. Very friendly, coach from the finish to the start, pie and peas at the finsh, nice route and not overly taxing.
