Ultra Marathons THAT are a bit different
back in 2022!
Hello! And welcome to my menagerie of ultras.
The Social Distance Ultra - Provisional Date 30 Oct 2022
A lovely 50k of Bedfordshire countryside and in theory* people finish at the same time at a pub
*In theory people don’t take a wrong turn and run to Stevenage.
BINGO - The World’s most Unfair race - Provisional Date SUN Oct 2nd
How far is it? Well that depends on how lucky you are.
Ask yourself, do you feel lucky?
The Predator - Coming 2023
A 1.5 mile loop. You all set off at the same time. When you are lapped you are out.
Who will win? The Lion or the Gazelle? The Tortoise or the Hare? Huffy McPufferson or Sweaty McBettison?
Unfortunately, I have other ideas too!
Here are some things I want to do in the next year or so
DOUBLE OR QUITTER - Test event being planned
You enter a 100 mile race.
But at 26 miles I will try to tempt you with a finish line and a nice marathon medal.
Want to carry on? Choice is yours. But if you later drop out you can’t come back crying for your marathon medal.
If you reach 50 I will try to tempt you again with a finish and a medal. Carry on and you have another 50 miles to think about what you might have won.
If you run 99 miles and drop out you get nothing. Even the people who bailed at 26 get something!
