I did this as my first Ultra this year, the course was along coastal roads on the Llanelli waterfront for the first maybe 12 miles then an uphill section to around 17, the turnaround was at 21 miles then back to the coastal route. Support was really good with bag drops etc, and bike Marshalls, the course was very well marked. The uphill turns into a very welcome downhill from about 23 - 30, I'd recommend it, I signed up again as soon as I possibly could despite the extra three miles and the 300 mile trip
Good, I will be doing Liverbird this year in Dec/Jan hopefully the double and then will do Gloucester in late Jan - enjoyed that one last year, and if there's a 50k I might be tempted
yes i liked gloucester ,couldnt have managed 50k this first time but will be ok next time. just got t make sure can d it in under 5hours! thats my jan and feb sorted for next year
Hi Matt looking forward to it, have a couple more under the belt so far this year, and after March I will avoid the 4 hour drive home after the run, and maybe stay a second night next time, did the Wall last week and enjoying the longer challenge now, here's to staying injury free
Your RW online entry has unaffiliated entries cheaper than affiliated entries, which I found confusing (I'm easily confused) so I used the link from your website.
So i've been away from home for a week, been out doing some running to help with the boredom, the legs feel good, breath all good, so thought lets sign up to a couple of races, no booked on a 5k, a marathon in November and now an ultra in Feb, could an adminastrator ban me now before i sign up for an ironman!

I can put up with most weather, just don't like snow or ice. Think i might just bite the bullet and enter

Oh dear how did that happen

Yes that is right Shades, in memory of John Tarrant

You should have an email...

Wow. I've just entered.
Re-assured to see that there are a few of you that (Like me) are looking for it to be the first Ultra.
Not sure whether to be excited or scared now......
