The 50 miler is no walk in the park either.At 6pm the 100 milers set off into a nice warm night,in the middle of the next day the 50 milers set off inreally warm conditions which saw a lot of peoplestruggle. Then in Monty Python fashion summerwent straight to winter and it poured it down formuch of the night.It’s not unusual for a man to win the men’s race anda woman to win the woman’s race but it is unusualfor them to be married to each other. That’s whathappened here as Marco and Debbie Consani tookfirst place for the 100 miler. Thinking about enteringas a man and wife team next year? Think again.Unless you are Kilian and Frosty.Mens Results 100m1st Marco Consani 21:14:522nd Charlie Sharpe 22:47:563rd Lee Knight 23:21:48Womens Results 100m1st Debbie Martin-Consani 25:28:332nd Beth Pascall 25:44:303rd Nicky Taylor 29:37:08Mens Results 50m1st Kim Collison 07:48:012nd Marcus Scotney 08:06:423rd Danny Kendall 08:<strong>13</strong>:39Womens Results 50m1st Jo Meek 08.43:172nd Lizzie Wraith 09.18.223rd Bonnie van Wilgenburg 09:31:05Website: www.lakeland100.comThere are a lot of superlatives flying around out inultra world, the world’s toughest, the UK’s mosticonic ultra and other such descriptions but withmore starters than any other race in the UK therecan be little doubt that the Race to the Stones wasthe UK’s most mainstream ultra.Hundreds of people kitted up to the eyeballs totackle 100k of the ancient Ridgeway trail on a daythat was not quite as warm as last year.The results for the 100k non-stop race was asfollows:Mens Results 100km Non-Stop1st Scott Forbes 9.04.162nd Wyclef Forbes 9.06.153rd Max Wilcocks 9.21.<strong>13</strong>Womens Results 100k Non-Stop1st Sorrell Walsh 10.37.562nd Julia Donovan 10.45.373rd Maryclaire Tweedy 10.51.48Mens 100k Overnight (Stage)1st Tim Davie 10.56.152nd Mark Glanville 10.59.533rd Steve Evans 11.02.00Womens Results 100k Overnight (Stage)1st Sarah Travers 11.44.532nd Mary Narey 12.10.463rd Sarah Crombie 12.38.30Website: www.racetothestones.comT04ULTRA TALES | OCTOBER 2014Sponsored by thehttp://
ULTRA TALES NEWS & RESULTSHave any news to report? Email us at ultratales@gmail.com12 Labours of HerculesThe 12 Labours of Hercules is a concept race forultra runners. Only 4 people did the whole distance.In their own words “The Labours are all at varyingdistances from the Race HQ. The closest is just half amile away (a 1 mile round trip). The furthest is 6miles away (12 miles round trip). By now you mayhave guessed that the rest all lie in distances inbetween. Add those distances together; 1 throughto 12, and you have a total of 78 miles. There may beno Mount Olympus in the Shropshire, but restassured the paths to the labours will neither be flator easy. There is 17,000ft of ascent and descent totackle if you choose to complete all 12. The 12routes will take in many of the impressive localpeaks and landmarks.”1 Stu Ruston 21:32:492 Barefoot Billyboy Craig 23:19:18= Carmine De Grandis 23:19:184 Paul O’Sullivan 23:46:04crying at the side of the road.A challenging 140 miles from coast to coast in lessthan 38 hours was all that was needed to separatethe race director from one of his cherished trinkets,runners were self supported with their loved onesfollowing them in a car or van, making tea, poppingblisters and giving it a lot of “there there”And amazingly 6 people made it.
