Gromit Sep 2015 12:18pm, 1 Sep 2015 489 posts	0 Gromit boooooo I've got a place for RRR50 but no longer has the UTMB point ................. hence now Ripon !!
Derby Tup Sep 2015 12:34pm, 1 Sep 2015 17,412 posts	0 Derby Tup Stef wants to do one of the UTMB races and I used to have a fairly good idea of which races / challenge events had points). Sadly there have been several changes where old qualifying events no longer carry points eg RRR. Some relatively newgood events like Hardmoors 55 and 60 have good points though I'm just received Skipton park run is entry on the day (and free)

notpete Sep 2015 1:26pm, 1 Sep 2015 374 posts	0 notpete That was my first ultra, Gromit. Nice race, weather can be a bit random though! See it's gone back to the Helmsley to Guisborough direction for 2016 - so a much hillier second half
