Autumn 50k ultra
![[Deleted User]](https://w9.vanillicon.com/91e3e9e80f6fae4bc6e63c520847ed2e_100.png)
Morning all
I want to have a go at an ultra next year, but most of the beginner friendly distances are a bit too early for me. Can anyone suggest a 50k in the latter part of the year (Sept/Oct)?
What's the JW Ultra like?
Thanks for your help!

The JW would be fantastic, if only it had a few more hills!
No just joking - it was a great event this year and I'm looking forward to next year (M1/Lurker/Ed - sorry but there will be a JW 2008 whether you like it or not
). Great organising team and very friendly.
Just another thuns up for the JW - my first ultra last year, was lovely!
....and there was cake at the finish
How far is Gatliff?
And isn't it a bit chilly in November???
50k/31miles, it can be chilly but it is always wet and muddy, they seem to pick a route each year to take in the best of Kent and Surrey's quagmires
Info here porky
Thanks Bilbo
sounds a bit hardcore for a first timer!
Think I'll stick with the JW (if it goes ahead?) and see how I get on there. I see the Gatliff takes on the day entries.
