Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Okay, I will fall into the trap nicely laid. Why not?

The Ennerdale round has a race.

If restricted to a set number of 'competitors' wouldn't the potential damage with manned checkpoints cause less environmental damage?

Just playing Devils advocate. As I said, asking question that needs to be asked. Lots of other ultras going on in Lakeland so surprised someone hasn’t set up a BG like race. 😐

10 Peaks Extreme that was run 2 or 3 times was pretty much a BG. It got really low numbers and was discontinued.

As an outsider with no desire or capability to do a BG, i would have thought that doing it on your own (with support) was the main reason for doing it. It is your run. Following 50 other people around seems the antithesis of this.

It may be set up as a race at some point, although I think it'd make a poor race, but if it was it'd be a race on the same route, not a BGR. You can't equate the two different things.

Which I why I don't understand the logic of the question, never mind why it needs to be asked.

Double BG binned at Honister after first leg of ACW round. Looks like the first lap of 19 52 hit home on the return to Robinson. He looked good when he came into the Moot Hall after the CW round but clearly it didn't last. It was amusing to watch a number of people cheer him in and then look completely bemused when he just touched the door and headed back out again 😀
