HELP! Runfurther needs a new website. We have loads of ideas to develop the site for race listings, a forum, more articles, better results and so on but our current package holds us back.

Do you develop websites, do you know someone who does, have you had a site developed for yourself recently and thought you got good value for money.

We have a full set of requirements and would really like to work with someone to develop these in a way that gives us the tools and skills to continue to operate and develop the site over months and years to come.

We can pay money to achieve this.

If you think you can help, please do get in touch asap HERE

 

 

 

 


Champs News

 Check out the race reports and photos from all the races HERE


Calderdale:

 

A surprised and very happy look on Martin Beale's face as he crossed the line in Calderdale made his day winning the 1000 points and together with Nicky Spinks who won for the females it looks again like the tops spots will change at each race. Well done you two on some superb running in such hot conditions.

Montane Highland Fling:

 

A very happy Andrew James was greeted at the finish line by his Dad, who was obviously a very proud man and Kate Jenkins came in to a roaring cheer from all her supporters at the Fling last weekend. The weather (again) was hot, which quite a few runners suffered in but got there in the end - read all their reports below and see all the photos online too....

Leader Board 2011 - HERE


Wow, 4 races completed in the series and every race has had a different Male and Female winner - this year looks to be wide open!

Big congratulations to Richard Webster and Karen Nash, early leaders of the series and to Gregory Crowley and Nick Ham who have both completed 4 from 4 so far and are possibles for the 2011 Grand Slam.

Plenty of runners out there have already completed 3 races in the series so are just one finish away from claiming their Inov-8/runfurther cap - you might be needing it as the temperatures warm up.

Don't worry even if you haven't got a score on the board though as there are 12 races in the series and you only need to complete 4 to count. So, its not too late to start that campaign and make 2011 the year when you "runfurther".


Sponsors Prizes:


The definitive prize list for the series is now on the site - if you are hoping for a podium spot then check out what goodies you will be in-line for HERE

It's not all about the series leaders though and we are very careful to ensure that anyone can be a winner in the UK ULtra-running Championships so we also have:
1. spot prizes at races: awarded randomly so sometimes the last person to finish can go home with a jacket or a voucher
2. prizes and competitions through the website and this newsletter. See below....
3. everyone who completes 4 races in the champs (one from each category and one other) will get an Inov-8/Runfurther cap - see the right and above...
