I hope the weather is good and Kilian can come and have an attempt at the Bob Graham. It will be really interesting to see how he gets on.

Big congratulations to Dave Kerr who many of you will recognise from the UKC forums. 23rd place overall and 2nd Scot. Top effort!

Why thank you, whoever you are.

It's tremendous weekend of events and there were great performances from runners of all levels.

In reply to UKC/UKH News:

Why are there so many races on the same weekend?
Wouldn't it make sense to spread them out a bit?

The previous weekend the same team was organising the Brecon Beacons 10 peaks race. The following weekend it was the ROC Mountain Marathon.

Yeah well done Dave Kerr, brilliant result!

All 4 races last weekend were organised by the same company based in Kendal so it makes financial and organisational sense to run them like that. One journey up the road, one setting up of event HQ etc.

Plus, they seem to fill the races up with different people so they're not short of customers. Only one guy did all three it was possible to do. The 4th, is an ultra and overlaps with the Ring of Steall.
