UTMB, Eiger Ultra or other Alpine Ultramarathons
Posted: Mon Jan 06, 2014 2:43 pm
Anyone nervously waiting for the outcome of their UTMB application should consider the Eiger Ultra (100km/6,500m) in Switzerland as an alternative should the ballot not go their way. That goes for anyone else considering an apline ultra this year too.
Why?
Well, apart from the obviously amazing scenery and challenge airing on the ridiculous, there are currently 7 registered Harriers, which means that we are by far the most represented club from GB. In fact (insert Jeremy Clarkson voice), we currently have the largest representation of any team, including the home nation, in the world! (Can you tell I had time on my hands yesterday?)
So lets get the numbers up a bit more, hey? And then Barry'll have no alternative but to include it as part of the fell champs for 2015!
See you on the start line.

PS - I realise this is a bit short for some of you, but you can always go around twice. You know who you are.
