Marathon Eryri – Sat 25 Oct 2025
From Sarah Hayes… Petra Bijsterveld and I entered this years 41st Marathon Eryri. It was Petra’s 7th time at this event but my first. I have done a couple of marathons previously but knew this one would be different and potentially much more challenging given the elevation of the course (2600ft). The route encircles Mount Snowdon on […]
OMM 2 day mountain marathon Lake District 25-26 Oct 2025
From John Hayes… This year’s OMM was held in the Lakes in the little known area between Shap Abbey and Haweswater / the High Street range. It was classic OMM terrain: Bogs, tussocks, crags, steep climbs, treacherous descents, tricky contours etc. The OMM team are an impressive lot. Whatever the weather (and this year it was very cold), they cheer […]

Yorkshire Marathon – Sun 19 Oct 2025
From Ash Winter… Yorkshire Marathon 2024 took place in the aptly named Storm Ashley, everyone was drenched, the last 10km was into a headwind, finishing was a sweet release from a harrowing experience. I’d been awake since 5:30am, as I drove on the day, parking was a nightmare, never mind finding my car afterwards in […]
Abingdon Marathon – Sun 19 Oct 2025
From Hilda Coulsey… This was the 41st edition of the race, established in 1982, making it one of the oldest in UK. It’s a fairly flat course but run mostly on pavements with many twists and turns, uneven surfaces and only 5 miles of closed roads. Undoubtedly its a club event, I didn’t see any charity […]
