Lakeland 100 (again!)
Hardmoors 110
The Arc of Nutrition
UTSW (no longer running)
Spine Challenger
Fellsman (only 100k but cannot recommend this enough!)
Viking Way (ok it's 147 but who's counting!)
Offas Dyke 100
Cotswold 100
North Downs 100
South Downs 100
Autumn 100 (incredibly flat!)
UTMB (ok so this ones not even in this country!)
Just realised that, un-beknowed to me, I already have 11 UTMB points and have entered a race later this year that will give me the remaining 4 I need!
Weirdly when I did the Lakeland 100 they were adament that they would not register for UTMB points - now when I check the website it is listed as earning 6 points
So new question is UTMB worth it - the cost, ramatazz, hype etc?
Cotswold Way will have 4 points (6 new) again this year.
I'm entered into the TDS this August, not quite ready for the full UTMB yet but I can't wait. Having been in Chamonix on many occasions when UTMB is running, the atmosphere is fantastic. Don't think the actual cost of the entry is at all bad value either, considering the backup you get. Could do with a medal at the end though.

If you can handle the razzmatazz then it's amazing. Thousands lining the street at the start and finish, incredible support throughout from the sidelines, the odd helicopter buzzing about, amazing route, scenery etc etc. Just need to embrace it all and use it in a positive way. Not many races quite like it.
I'd have to say it 'felt' twice as hard as say the west highland way race, though I did it in exceptional heat that didn't suit me at all.

I have a drawer of medals that never see the light of day. UTMB ' finisher' Mountain Heardwear Gilet however, got me through some of the hard miles!
