Housman Hundred - 28/5/2011 (Read 572 times)

    Richard S suggested this event: http://www.housmanhundred.co.uk/index.html


    I've looked more closely at their website now and I reckon that (assuming I don't get a WS100 place) that this is definitely what I'll be shooting for next year. It looks awesome.


    Who else is up for it? We should try and get one event a year when we all meet up. This looks like a good one.

      There is some interest from George and myself as 2011 is my year to be a become a centurion

          Very interested in the Housman Hundred. I like the idea of getting 100 miles done next year.

            Matt, I think that this looks like THE 100 to be doing next year and I am having such fun with getting ready for the Ridgeway that I want become a centurion next year.

             

            Overseas races like the UTMB and WS100 are likely to be on my radar  for 2012 if I don't get round to doing the planning for BGR or coast to coast. I am about to buy a new house so funds for travel will likely be tight for 12 months and there are so many parts of the UK yet to be run!

              I have just emailed the LDWA coordinator as it states that you must have run a LDWA 50 mile event. I am sure we all could!! I said that we had done various ultras and am awaiting his response

                I myself would love to do Bob Graham or C2C although 2012 more likely.

                 

                I looked on the website and I already qualify having done Grimsthorpe so I am one happy man

                 

                Centurion for sure next year! Back to proper training this week coming although still no races booked

                  I have just emailed the LDWA coordinator as it states that you must have run a LDWA 50 mile event. I am sure we all could!! I said that we had done various ultras and am awaiting his response

                   UB, email George, he has in-roads with the LDWA and he will get us a 50 mile event easily, I am happy to join even if it means us getting in.
