So the Runfurther races are over for another year. Congratulations to everyone who took part – it takes guts to run one Ultra, & a lot more to run lots of them. It’s been great meeting so many new people this year through being involved with Runfurther – sorry to all those whose name & face I failed to tie together. It’s going to keep on happening I’m afraid, so keep reminding me. The same probably applies to the rest of the committee, but I’m probably the worst!

Congratulations again to everyone listed above: you’re all clearly as daft as I am.
There weren’t any FV60 women who ran 3 or more races this year. All the above are subject to revision if anyone spots any mistakes or omissions in the results, but if I don’t hear something in the next week or so it’ll be too late! The full results tables are in their usual place here.
