Not at present - think I'm confined to the UK now. UTLD 100 in July, was thinking of do Caesars Camp again but other commitments have ruled that out. Sep/Oct look a bit sparse
SDW100 in June for me then 80 hour weeks for nine weeks over the Olympic period which will rule out any races. Really wanted something to look forward to in the autumn
but if you want a shorter one - Vercors Ultratrail at 85km - same weekend as TdG. I've cross country skied at Autrans where this is based - lovely part of France and not far from Grenoble for flights.
it's part of the Raidlight series - all the events are listed on this page
in fact there's a nice big list of (mainly) French ultras on the right of this page
Just had a good look at those, like Rich the Iceland trip is a little too expensive for me too, looks fantastic though and it is put on by Likeys who I do like to support.
Grand Raid Pyrennees would fit well but it's at the wrong time of year and the Vercors run looks gorgeous but a little too short for what I was looking for.
Lirish - did you bother going on waiting list for this? If so have you had any confirmation etc - I think I entered the WL but my Italian isn't exactly fluent!
I tried but much like you I guess I'm not sure I actually did get on. I certainly haven't had an e mail from them saying so. I did e mail them telling them I continually tried to get access but just kept getting a loading screen. They essentially said tough shit
Bloody hell there's over 550 people on the waiting list!
I'm on there but at over 120 places from the front I won't hold my breath, I'll make other plans just in case I don't make it. Have you had a look at the winter 100 from James Elson Rich?

Anyone have any suggestions for a race comparable around the same time of year
OK - here ya go - but Lirish probably knows about it already...
Fire and Ice Ultra
am almost tempted myself for 2013

don't say I don't help.....
Thanks FB - yes, the Iceland one looks great, but a bit too far afield and expensive for this year.
Will check out the French ones - fancy the Grand Raid Pyrenees some time ?next year

Back to the drawing board then....
