White Rose Ultra

Saturday 4 November 2017

30 miles (48.3 km); 3,865 feet (1,180 m) of ascent

With the race HQ at Marsden a 30 mile loop was fully sign-posted so entrants didn't need to navigate around the course but just keep a close watch on the arrows and signs around the route. The 60 mile event was two laps of the same loop and the 100 mile version involved three laps followed by an extra smaller 10 mile loop. There was enough elevation to qualify as a CL fell race but the easy trails and roads made it more of a trail race. The weather was cool with no rain and good visibility.
