Nice. Speaking of canals, is anyone doing the Kennet and Avon canal race? It is the sister race of GUCR and goes from Bristol to London and is also 145 miles. I only found out about it this week

Yep - I'm doing K&ACR. You might still be able to get a place if you want one...

Where does it finish? I couldn't tell from the website apart from London obviously. I grew up next to the K&A in Thatcham, went to uni in Bristol and now work in London so it would be the perfect race

It finishes at Paddington. It follows the Thames from Reading to Eton, then the route branches north to pick up the Slough arm of the Grand Union Canal - which is then followed all the way into Paddington. There's a Facebook group for it (https://www.facebook.com/groups/318850455171449/) which has got the route maps.

Yep, top result for Marigold, he paced it well and was outside the top-100 through the opening check, just picked everyone off in front of him. Top European finish and third M40. Comrade results: live.ultimate.dk |
