Les Croupiers Running club

If you’re thinking of entering a mountain marathon for 2010 (and why wouldn’t you?) here’s a list of the most well known ones with dates (where known by me). Plenty of folks in the club have now run a MM so ask around for more information or ask me. I’m an amateur, but there are some highly experienced mountain ‘men’ in the club like Jules, Nick and Caroline. Remember that actual event locations are not revealed until closer to the date of the event, although some are traditionally held in a certain part of the country (e.g. the Saunders is held in the Lake District, and the Mourne is always in the Mourne Mountains of Northern Ireland). If you need practice with a map and compass then try a few local orienteering events organized by the South Wales Orienteering Club (SWOC) – highly recommended. Ask Caroline or Nick for details.
