Ultra Magazine is well worth reading: a magazine just for Ultra runners, and sometimes we get a mention too!

Pete Bland Sports sells all the running gear you ever need, at keen prices.  There are frequent sales, and once you’re on their mailing list you get notified of them. There’s an online shop, or you can visit the shop in Kendal.

Romneys Kendal Mint Cake now have an online shop or you can call in at the factory shop in Kendal and save even more money.

The Long Distance Walkers Association (LDWA) lists challenge events for walkers of 20 miles and over.  These are generally organised by volunteers, and many of the events support runners as well.

The Go Far website lists many UK ultra challenge routes, mainly in the UK hills and mountains.  If you’re looking for a challenging run out on your own or with friends, there are more routes here than you’ll ever get round to trying.  Thanks to Tony Wimbush for maintaining this site.

Racelifts.org makes organising car-sharing for races easy, and it costs you nothing.  ROs: put your race up on here!
