With the TR24 (Thunder Run) and the Lakeland 100 and 50 races this weekend, the UK entertains two of the longest and certainly one of the hardest ultra races…

The L100 is fast-becoming one of the premier 100 milers in the UK and certainly with 6,300m of ascent it’s amongst the toughest. 2012 winner Terry Conway (we understand) is back and will be hard to beat. Full details at the UTLD site.

Down in Derbyshire and Catton Park it’s the adidas Thunder Run:

adidas Thunder Run is a 24 hour off-road relay race against the clock. Whether you run solo or in a team of 2-8 it’ll test your tactics, endurance, speed and team work. It’s an exhilarating, rewarding and tiring race with a great atmosphere.

Women’s solo winner from 2012 Sarah Gardner-Hall is back for more and you can follow all of the action via the website and the TR24 Facebook page.
