Another New Sponsor For The Crawley A.I.M. 24 Hour Race

February 12, 2018Latest NewsKeith Godden, UltraMarathonRunningStorePam Storey

I am pleased to announce that, yet again, the wonderful Keith Godden (UltraMarathonRunningStore) is providing some prizes for the race. Thanks Keith.

Erdinger Sponsor The Race

February 11, 2018Latest NewsErdinger AlkoholfreiPam Storey

Thanks to our latest sponsor ERDINGER.
Anyone who has competed in Germany will know that the races over there frequently use this refreshing drink.

Erdinger Alkoholfrei is a uniquely refreshing low-alcohol isotonic recovery drink.

Notably, this non alcoholic Bavarian brew provides the body with essential vitamins, such as folic acid and vitamin B12, which help reduce fatigue and support the immune system. (0.4% ABV).

It will be available for the 24 hour runners at our race. If successful I will ensure a bigger supply for 2019!

6 hour race is full

February 11, 2018Latest NewsPam Storey

The 6 hour race is now full. If you want to go on the waiting list then you need to submit an entry but you will not be charged. You will automatically be added to the waiting list.

Sadly James Toombs has had to withdraw from the race, we hope he can make it for 2019!

There are still plenty of places available for the race and, to date, no ladies have entered. Come on girls there are three lovely prizes up for grabs!

12 Hour Race

December 26, 2017Entry, Latest NewsPam Storey

There are only 2 more places left for the 12 hours but a waiting list will be in operation.

We welcome Norbert Mihalik to the race. Norbert won the Tooting Bec 24 hour race in September with a fine 259.40 km (161.18 miles). A good field so far!

24 Hour Race

December 26, 2017Entry, Latest NewsPam Storey

Sadly Elspeth Jenkins has withdrawn from the race but has been replaced by Mike Julien who was first on the waiting list.

There are now 12 names on the waiting list so I have decided to not accept any more applications.

I am pleased to announce that Henry Smith, the local M.P. for Crawley has agreed to present the prizes for the 24 hour race.

24 hours is full.

October 19, 2017Entry, Latest NewsPam Storey

Don’t leave it too late to enter this famous race.

There is now a waiting list for the 24 hours, you can enter online but do not need to pay unless a place becomes available.

Plenty of places left for the 6 and 12 hour races. The 6 hours starts at midday with the 24 hour folk but the 12 hours is a night run starting at 8.00 pm. Great preparation for GUCR or any of the 100 mile events where you have a night session.

For anyone that is counting ‘Marathons’ for the purposes of the 100 Marathon Club, I ask that you run 27 miles (this is an ultra distance event after all) and the Club will accept this as an ultra result.

i look forward to receiving many more entries for the 6 and 12 hour races to enable us to raise a lot of money for our orphans and needy children in Uganda.

Crawley 24 Hour Race 2018 Entry List Half Full!

With 8 months still to go, the Crawley 24 Hour Race 2018 is half full. With a limit of 40 runners Race Director Pam Storey is confident the event will reach its limit. However there seems to be little interest at the moment in the 6 hour and the 12 hour.

The 6 and 12 hour races are great events for novices to step up from marathon into ultramarathon distances.

Track based events are far from being boring unless one is prone to boredom of course. All your supplies can be located trackside, toilets are close at hand and there’s an always manned and supplied aid table never more than 400 m away. With good first aid cover and probably masseurs – this is cushy as far as an ultra goes. IAU certified too.

Get yourself on the DUV list and everyone will know you are an ultrarunner at last.

Race registration is via EntryCentral.
