Here’s the film I made of the inaugural race held in Northumberland this year. There’s more info and photos in this post and the race was expertly organised by Total Racing International. You can sign up for 2015’s race at www.stoswaldsultra.com. See you there!

There are many more images for the 50K Holy Island to Craster leg than for the 100K and 100 mile events. That’s because the field got increasingly strung out as the race wore so on that I only had the opportunity to take a handful of photos at each location. For example, I spent an hour and a half in the blackness of Harwood Forest and only two people went past! One or two of the images are video freeze-frames, particularly towards the end. I’ve got hours of video footage. The challenge now is to condense that to about 3 minutes! Sorry I didn’t hang around after about 4:30am at Chollerford to see more of you come through the finish – I’d been up for 26 hours and was ready to drop. However, I feel like a complete lightweight compared to you incredible and awe-inspiring people who did this event and endured for much longer than I did. Hats off to all of you for taking part and finishing the 50K, 100K and 100 mile races: it’s a day that will remain with me as a fond memory as I think of what you amazing people have achieved.
