This page details attempts by club member of long distance runs, commonly known as "rounds". The most famous of which is the Bob Graham round of 42 peaks that is meant to be completed in 24 hours. The slightly lesser known rounds of the Ramsey in Scotland and Paddy Buckley in N. Wales are also "24 hour" challenges, while other rounds don't have recognised  time limits.
