Surrey Bacchus Half on 13th Sept, be around 2000 participants, wine tasting on the way around, fancy dress, live music on the course, seven hour cut off, hog roast BBQ at the finish. Good fun and no pressure

Does it have to be in the UK? The Dam tot Damloop is a 10 mile event in Amsterdam... not that far past the White Cliffs of Dover. Oh it's in late September btw.

Lake District Mountain Trial.

If you're going to do a race, do a "proper" one.

Short Course is only 9mi/3500' climb (straight line distance....)

Lots of "big" fell races to consider as well... ;-)

Oh, should have added road to this. Or very light trail. No rocks. Definite foot snapping potential.

Windsor is definitely a consideration, I just can't see myself running a half. Even if I could run 13, I can't train properly for it, I can't run anywhere near enough miles to train for a half.

Ffff. Wimp :-P ;-)

If you can't break a leg/ankle/head/insert body part properly, it's not a race....

OK, what about this one: cityrace.org
