Race Calendar

Here is a list of races that I could potentially enter - they have the right kind of distance and are in my locality (with one or two exceptions). There's a lot more than I will actually enter, but it gives me options for working around my other commitments.

I may change this around as the year goes on, but I've tried to include a mix of race styles (road, trail and fell) spread throughout the year.

Races in green are booked. Races in yellow are being considered. Races in red are excluded. Some races are already announced, but others I have predicted based on their history, so these are currently unconfirmed. I will update this list throughout the year, but you can find out how I've done on the Results page.
