Running Ultra Marathons through 2021 and beyond

Aim

Running to raise money for Usk New Start, a fantastic cat charity based in SE Wales who do sterling work in the region.

Back in the saddle!

Just to announce I'm entering my first Ultra since the ... Unique Brecon 2 Cardiff 2020. I'll be entering the Wye Valley 40 miler in May and as it's close to Usk I'll like to announce I'll be fund raising for the frankly amazing Usk New Start Cat Rescue branch .

UPDATE: The Wye Valley has been cancelled and so I've transferred my entry to the Black Mountains Ultra in June.

As it uses the Race Nation app closer to the time I will give out my Friend Code so you will be able to on the day track me and send me messages as I run !!! Nutrition will be from the fantastic  Food Circle Supermarket who have really good prices!!!

The Wye Valley 40miler is here: https://trailevents.co/events/wye-valley-trail-running-challenge/

The intention is then to enter and aim towards the original target I had before Covid struck and changed everything -a 100K/24 hour race. Currently the target is either a Lake District 100K or one in the Llyn Peninsula.

My first Ultra was the Vale Coastal Ultra in 2019, then I did the VOGUM, the Two Tunnels and then the Gower Coastal Ultra - and in 2020 I managed the Brecon 2 Cardiff (and Storm Ciara!!!) before it all locked down.

Hopefully as we start the long slow, cautious return to normality I can get back to what I love!
