The JW Ultra is returning for it's second running after 2007's debut. <br><br>30 miles along the Stratford Canal towpath from Stratford to Bournville on Saturday 27th September. Also a 3*10 mile relay.<br><br>Ideal for a first ultra.<br><br>I did this last year, as did several other people from this site and it was great fun

I may give it a go though I'll not be trying to hang on to Matt Giles. I'd rather do his races instead.

Not many people can keep up with Matt! Do you mean the Clent Hills mini fell races he organised last year? |

Yes TMW I did the second and third of those but missed first due to being committed to a fell race in Derbys already.

MX, was going to do those .. and then forgot all about them. Worth doing? Clashes with Berlin and the Cleveland 110 miler thing. Otherwise I' be there. V'rap - fancy running our own JW on another day?

Yes very good races quite different from true fell races, probably why they suited me

No definitely enough climb to be a class A fell race but for the relatively short ditances it is achieved in several shortish stages rather than one big up and down.
