Nice Côte d’Azur 20k – Sun 25 Sept
From Dick Waddington… One of a set of the new races by UTMB this has got to be the easiest (2,300ft). A short (by UTMB standards) and beautiful roller coaster route up and down rocky cliffs and narrow stone paths with sea views and a glorious run into Nice through the old town. Results: (1 […]
Tissington Trail Half Marathon – Sun 25 Sept
From Adam Gerrish… This weekend I ventured to Derbyshire to join my parents who were running their first half marathon. It was a nice flat route along the Tissington Trail, an old railway line converted into a traffic-free line for cyclists and walkers. The race is a point-to-point route along the line from Parsley Hay […]
Cotswold Way Century – Sat/Sun 17/18 Sept
From Matthew Kennedy… I signed up for the Cotswold Way Century on the strength of an enthusiastic recommendation from a runner I met earlier this year at the Dales High Way Ultra. He said it was another small, friendly race and, sure enough, only about 50 runners assembled in Chipping Campden on Saturday at noon […]
Epilepsy Action Bradford 10k – Sun 18 Sept
[Thanks to Andrew Bennett for the photo] From Alison Bennett… Jack Cummings was a clear winner in the Bradford 10k.

Vale of York Half Marathon/10k – Sun 11 Sept
From Sally Armitage… A fast, flat road race along country roads around Wistow, south of York. This was possibly the flattest race, upwards of 5k, that I’ve ever ran. With only two short, gentle inclines, it’s a true PB course. Fortunately the weather played ball too, with no wind and cooler temperatures than of late, […]
Meanwood Valley Trail Race – Sat 10 Sept
From Matt Snow… David Singleton and Matt Snow travelled to Old Leos Cricket club in Alwoodley for the start of the Meanwood Valley Trail Race.
