Tempted to run the 27 miler this weekend , can I still enter ?
Would it be possible to turn up and take a " no show place "
very tempted by the Black Mountains round 1 in March 2016, gutted I can't do the Brecon Beacons in May again, that was the most amazing run of 2015 for me!
Also looking at the Black Mountains in March as a probable, this time I might try and enter early rather than 2/3 days before
checked out the weather for previous round 1's, snowy white out! blimey, not sure now...might wait until nearer the time... i am a wimp!
I am troubled; March in the cold? As a birthday present to myself?
Or May in the blazing heat? As a warm up for the Vegan 3000?
Both?
I did Round 3 last year, Brecon Beacons and it was superb, best trail marathon i have done!
Very tempted still by Round 1, marathon though, not ultra...
Am considering signing up for round 1... My trail running shoes are Hoka Challenger ATR - am wondering if they would be suitable for this at all?
Challenger ATR
I am in for Round 1 now, Marathon all booked! I used Salamon Speedcross GTX from Round 2 last year, not sure those Hoka look suitable, night need better grip, ????
Round 1 is my favourite of all the MCN events, there's some really nasty steep descents - especially coming down to the Llanthony CP. it's boggy/muddy up on the second half and last year the final section was a complet mud fest.
I used Inov8 x-talons and was glad I did, if it's dry for the next month, (ha ha ha) you might get away with something less aggressive.
I've done Round 1 three times, and the weather has been epic each time - snow, hail, gales, rain, mud, bogs etc... don't skimp on kit - you have been warned
Marathon round 1 and 2 entered Just getting a car load together
Please no snow this year....
Thanks for the advice! I am still not sure whether I will actually be in the UK that weekend but will try and get some better gear if I do sign up for round 1. Else I will try for round 2 for sure.
