WYE ULTRA

Well the first race is on us - 2009 Vasque Ultra-running Championships is under way. The Wye Ultra is now full so we seem to have continued our trend of last year getting all the races numbers up from previous years.

FELLSMAN

This race is also filling up fast so get your entries in to confirm your place in the long hard and gnarly Fellsman

MONTANE LAKELAND 100& 50

This race is an extra little incentive for the points grabbers - you will get the normal points alllocated at a race if you enter the 50 miller but if you enter the 100 miler, get round it, you get an extra 100 points towards your series points.
