Ultrarunner

Welcome to ultrarunner.co.uk

The ultrarunner site was started in 2005 for a number of reasons which were at the time:

• To fill a gap! (There were very few sites providing information on ultra distance running in the UK)
• To inform and assist the ultrarunning community in the UK
• To promote the UK ultrarunning scene both within the UK and beyond

Three years on (as I write this anyway) ultrarunning in the UK has grown rapidly both in popularity and availability, with a number of high profile races and commercial organisers offering events alongside the typically low key club events.

Ultrarunner was been created and is being run based on the following premises:

• This is not a commercial site
• This site is run and owned by an individual with no commercial gain (unless i can work out how to get filthy rich from it)
• This is a site built on the contribusions of users, readers, race organisers and anyone involved in ultrarunning
• This site is not linked to a product, brand, race or race series (see point 2!)

As such I hoped  to build an informative and supportive community without bias, three years worth of articles, race reports & reviews have gone some of the way to that and I hope the new more interactive site will help with the next step.

Come in, read, take part and help out!
