    At the 10th WMRA World Masters Champs former World champion (2000) Angela Mudge negotiated the Polish mountain mist, and the entire women’s field, to win the W40 crown. Mudge’s crown was a beacon in a relatively lean championships for the Home Nations… Read more…

    Some things are quintessentially British, especially when it comes to hill and fell racing. And a fair few of our European friends find the thought of blasting up a hill, with no real track as such, and back down at break-neck speeds, a little odd… Read more…

    The juniors get going at Grasmere

    With so much going on in the world of off-road running (UTMB, Kima, World Masters, TransRockies) it would be easy to overlook the UK race scene. But not a bit of it, as we catch our breath and catch-up on the fells of Britain, and some great weekend racing… Read more…

    Lizzie and Jez, champions!

    You can only win what is put before you. The history books and results of this famous race will not detail the trials and tribulations of the 2010 UTMB. They won’t spell out who was missing from the start line-up. They will state that the 2010 winners were Britons Jez Bragg and Lizzie Hawker… Read more…

    Julian Chorier 'contemplates'

    A crazy 24 hours of ultra trail running in Europe was witnessed last Friday evening as the 8th annual UTMB set off bang on time at 18.30 CET. But barely an 8th of the way into the event (approx 21km) the race was cancelled, or should I say postponed and, for many, over… Read more…

    Well almost. And here in old Blighty there are lots of races for the UK mountain folk to get their teeth into. Classic races at the ‘Welsh Matterhorn’ Cnicht race, the long and hard Ochil 2000’s in Scotland, the Dufton show race and Pete Bland’s super-historic Grasmere Senior Guides Race – all 1.5 miles of it… Read more…

    Four letters that would make many a mortal gulp. One of the world’s most challenging ultra trail races, the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc is one of the highlights on the international racing calendar, and as you might expect the worldwide media is ‘hyped’ for this one… Read more…
