Skyline Mountain Marathon, Half Marathon & 55K Run
2017-08-19 | Eden Park, 5522 E 2200 N,, UT, UT, 84310, United States
Skyline Mountain Marathon
Thank you for taking the time check out the Skyline Mountain Marathon. This is not an average marathon. With it’s quad burning course, almost 5000 ft climbing, and the mind blowing views, this is one race you will never forget. Don’t believe us? Just ask someone who has run it.
Let’s not beat around the bush, the full marathon distance of the Skyline Mountain Marathon is brutal. That being said, it is one of the most beautiful trail running events you will ever participate in.
Starting near North Fork Park, Liberty UT, the course points directly uphill. In the shadow of the famous Ben Lomond Peak, yes famous, you will twist and turn on the switchbacks for 6 miles before arriving at the “saddle” where you will connect to the Skyline Trail and be greeted by Aid Station #1.
From Aid Station #1 runners will turn southeast and head toward the North Ogden Divide. This section of the trail is fast and almost completely downhill. At different points on this trail you will have views reaching all the way to the Salt Lake Valley.
Aid Station #2 will be located at mile 12.1.
From Aid Station #2 your quads will hate you because you point up hill again. Following the South Skyline Trail, runners will head south toward Windsurfers Beach.
Aid Station #3 will be located at the top of this climb, roughly 3 miles from Aid Station #2. Aid Station #3 offers a beautiful view of Ogden Valley, just before you start to head downhill toward Pineview Reservoir.
Aid Station #4 is located at the Windsurfers Beach. From here you will face what many call the most torturous section of the entire race. You will follow the Pineview Trail along the shoreline of Pineview Reservoir, connect to the North Arm trail and finish in “downtown” Eden at Eden Park.
Rules & Regulations
Dropping Out
If for some reason you need to withdrawal from the race, you need to let the volunteers at the aid station know. We so not recommend withdrawing while up on the skyline trail. If you do that, you will still need to walk down. If you are unable to go further, ask another runner to inform the aid station that you are in need of help. In this situation search and rescue will be called out to extract you from the mountain.
Dogs
I know this is a tough subject on both sides, but the answer is no. Dogs are not allowed to run with you during the event. We love them to, but there is just to much potential for problems. And yes, we know your dog would never do that and is the best behaved dog on the trail, but even if this really is the case, the answer is still not. Feel free to bring them on all your training runs, just dont bring them on race day. Thanks for understanding.
Pacers
Pacers are welcome to run with you from Aid Station #2 (North Ogden Divide Parking Lot). But they can not start with you. And if they are pacing you please remind them that they did not pay for the race, so please go easy on the aid station grub.
Headphones
Headphones are welcome, but we recommend that you keep them at a decent volume or keep one ear free, so you can hear whats going on around you. We don’t want you to wet yourself when someone comes up behind you or even worse, not hear a rattle snake or a moose that has it out for you.
There will be food, goodies, music and good times to be had at the finish line.
Pricing
55k: $115
Full Marathon: $100

Monster Trail Marathon & Half Marathon
2017-08-19 | Robert H. Treman State Park, 105 Enfield Falls Rd,, Ithaca,, NY, 14850, United States
Monster Trail Marathon & Half Marathon
About
These trail races use the Cayuga and Finger Lakes Trails to provide views of some of the most beautiful gorges in Ithaca, NY. The course consists of two identical out-and-backs of 13.1 miles each, starting at Robert H. Treman State Park and traversing mostly single-track trails. Don’t let the fact that the races start in a park fool you—the course includes its fair share of roots, rocks, steps, briars, steep climbs, and quad-pounding descents.
The Monster Marathon and Half-Marathon feature age/sex-based early starts. Men under age 38 start with the race clock, but women and older men head off early, with the individual handicaps determined by the World Masters Athletics Age-Graded Tables. The win could come down to a kick to the finish between a 65-year-old grandmother (101-minute head start) and her 40-year-old son (4-minute head start).
The Monster Marathon and Half Marathon are part of the FLRC Trail Circuit, and results are included in the annual Pebblehead/Stonehead/Boulderhead rankings.

The first pavilion (near the playground) at Robert H. Treman Park, 105 Enfield Falls Road, Ithaca, NY 14850. Be prepared to pay an $8 New York State Parks admission fee.

Fleetwood Half Marathon
2017-08-20 | Beach Road Car Park, Fleetwood, Beach Road Car Park,, Fleetwood,, FY7 8PG, United Kingdom
Fleetwood Half Marathon 2017
The Fleetwood Half Marathon is a flat, rural, one-lap race running along the Lancashire Walkways and Fleetwood promenades. Set to take place on the 20th of August, be sure to secure your spot now while there is still time.
REGISTRATION
Your running number needs to be collected from the Race Makers on the day from the race venue. Registration opens at 8.00am. Please bring your email confirmation or payment receipt with you when collecting your race pack (which includes pins to attach your running number to the front of your running top) to ensure a swift collection process. You should arrive in plenty of time to avoid queues. There is an enquiry desk if you have any problems or questions about the event.
RACE VENUE
The race venue is the Beach Road Car Park, Fleetwood FY7 8PG. The race HQ is clearly signed. Registration and late entries are located with the marquee within the gardens. Baggage storage is also clearly marked. There are no changing or showering facilities, however you can use the YMCA Leisure Centre, which is located next door for a charge.
HOW TO GET TO THE RACE
By Car: Exit the M55 at junction 3 and follow the A585 and signs for Fleetwood. Drive past the Freeport Shopping Village and the former Port. Pass the Marine Hall Gardens (former venue) on the right hand side and continue down the Esplanade. The race HQ is located on the right hand side at the roundabout with Beach Road.
RACE FACILITIES
There are several car parks on the Esplanade for use on the day. The car parks will be clearly signed. Please park legally at all times. Council Parking Enforcement Officers operate throughout the day. Number collection, baggage storage, race help desk and toilets are all located with the Marine Hall Gardens.
RACE DAY ITSELF
Arrive in plenty of time to allow you to park; collect your running number; get changed and visit the toilet etc. Just before the start the toilets become busy so plan your visit carefully. When you have your running number, fill in the medical information section on the back. Be careful not to damage or lose your number, as replacements will not be issued. If there is a risk of you blacking out during the race (for example if you suffer from fits), put a red cross on the front of your number. Pin your number on your FRONT without folding or covering it – it needs to be seen by the Race Makers. Do not pass your running number on to anybody else without first notifying registration – this is to ensure the results are correct and for obvious safety, insurance and medical reasons. When you are happy that you are ready to run, make your way to the start area. The start location is clearly marked by the inflatable archway. Line up behind the start line, where there will be a few safety announcements before the race starts at 10.00am sharp. The route you are running on is open to the public so be aware of pedestrians and cyclists. We advise that you do not wear iPods or similar devices whilst running. You may not hear stewards or indeed fellow runners if they need help! At the finish you will be awarded with your runners medal. Water will be available along with medics, should they be required.
WATER STATIONS & COURSE AID
Water stations are located at 3.6 miles, 6.01 miles, 7.6 miles and 10.03 miles on the route. Bottled water is available to all runners. The bottle cap will be removed before being passed to you. The station will be clearly signed. Please try and drop your bottles as soon as possible so we don’t litter the course too much. It also helps the crew at the stations to pick the bottles up quicker. A water station is also located at the finish area. Medics are available throughout the course on bikes and at the finish. If you get into any difficulties on the course you should alert a steward or medic who will be able to help you.
DROPPING OUT, SLOWER RUNNERS & WALKING
If you have to drop out for any reason, and you cannot make your own way back to the race venue to collect your belongings, then make your situation known to a course steward or a member of the medic crew. Arrangements will be made to pick you up and bring you back. Priority will be made in cases of injury or illness. If you are very slow, but are determined to finish, on-course facilities may become less available. Our team at the rear of the field will endeavour to give you support and advice. At some point, perhaps through tiredness, cramp, blisters, etc, you may be forced to walk. If this happens you must move as far to the left hand side as possible to allow runners to overtake.
WHAT IF I AM ILL OR INJURED
You must be fit and well to compete in the event. Severe exertion during or soon after any illness is extremely dangerous. Do not take any chances with your health. If you find yourself in this situation you must withdraw. But do not despair! Email us at least 7 days before the race and we can defer your entry to the following year for free so you do not lose your entry fee.
Info
The Race starts behind the Registration and Venue Marquees on the outer seawall walkway and runs along Fleetwood’s Outer Promenade and Esplanade with great views over Morecambe Bay.
It is a perfect race for runners of all abilities with a fun and friendly atmosphere. A warm FCR welcome awaits everyone. It is also very flat and certified accurately measured.
Race HQ
The event headquarters is at the Beach Road Car Park, Fleetwood FY7 8PG. There is a car park here, but does fill up quickly. There are an additional two car parks just North a bit further along the Esplanade. At race HQ you will find the registration desks where you can collect your race numbers, an enquiry desk if you have any questions, toilets, and baggage storage.

Oxford Classic 1 Mile Swim
2017-09-03 | Donnington Bridge, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
Oxford Classic 1 Mile Swim
Swim Oxford is passionate about bringing you stunning open water swimming events in and around Oxford. From the Oxford Classic Mile to the marathon 10k Lock to Lock swim. Swim Oxford aims to cater for all abilities from those new to open water swimming through to experienced swimmers wanting to stretch themselves with a serious long distance swim.
Event Details
You will be swimming upstream, so against the gentle flow of old Father Thames, or Isis at this point. In September there is very little flow on the river, but a more adventurous experience will be gained by all.
Setting off from Donnington Bridge you will be swimming upstream towards Christ Church Meadows, passing the historic bathing spot at Long Bridges on the left. All swimmers will be on the right hand side of the river in a well marked course and escorted by safety canoeist. You will swim past, on your right the nature reserve, know as Aston’s Eyot. Aston’s Eyot is a 33-acre island on the east bank of the River Thames in the city of Oxford, southeast of Christ Church Meadow.
Making your way past the famous boat houses on the right , heading towards the finish, you will be faced with a large River Buoy, a final turn around this and head back down stream towards the platform where you will exit. Once out of the water make your way to the changing tents and Swim Oxford refreshments tent. Enjoy this location in all its splendour within the heart of Oxford.
FAQ
Does the river have a fast flow?
The flow differs from one day to the next based on factors such as rain fall, opening of locks etc. The flow is generally fairly slow.
Which side of the river should I swim on?
The Environment Agency, who grant us permission to run the Lock to Lock events, ask that swimmers stay to the right of the river wherever possible. Boats and other river users also navigate on the right so, as river users, we need to adhere to the same rules. There are occasions when it is safer to swim closer to the middle of the river. On some of the tree-lined sections of the course there can be obstacles such as submerged branches and tree roots that could be dangerous or cause injury if snagged. Our safety kayakers will help alert you to these obstacles en-route.
Do I have to wear a wetsuit?
Wetsuits are mandatory for this event unless you are an experienced open water swimmer and have our permission, in writing, in advance to swim without.
Will I be safe in the water?
Safety is our utmost concern. We have safety kayakers paddling with you along the length of the course and we have spotters on the shore. We also have medics at the event should you require any medical attention.
What if I feel I can’t finish the swim?
We hope that everyone will have trained enough to complete the full length of the course. However we do realise that this may be the first time some participants have swum this distance in a river and we will have support boats nearby should you experience any difficulties. There will also be exit points along the course.
Is the water clean?
The water will be tested to environmental safety standards before the swim. In 2015 the water test passed with a “high” cleanliness rating.
What will the water temperature be?
The water temperature will very much depend on weather conditions leading up to the event. In September 2015 the water temperature was 15-17 degrees centigrade.
Is there a chance of becoming ill during the swim?
Public Health England publish a leaflet on the risk of illness when open water swimming, which can be viewed here. We always follow these guidelines and have never become unwell during or after swimming this stretch of the Thames. Public Health England recommend “before you swim to cover cuts, scratches or sores with a waterproof plaster before swimming, consider wearing appropriate protective clothing such as a wetsuit, gloves and/or protective footwear. While you are swimming try to avoid swallowing and/or splashing water into your mouth, observe local safety advice. After swimming ensure you clean your hands thoroughly with soap and water after swimming and before handling/eating food, thoroughly clean cuts or abrasions using soap and water, handle your wetsuit with care after use, rinse it with clean water as soon as is practicable after swimming, clean with detergent and rinse as advised by the manufacturer, always wash your hands with soap and water after handling or cleaning your wetsuit and allow the suit to dry thoroughly before reuse.”
Where can I park?
Car parks will be either at the Sea Scouts field next door to the Falcon Rowing club site and/or Freelands Road, opposite to Falcon Rowing club near Donnington Bridge.
So I park at the start of the swim course. How do I get back to my car?
Options:
Public transport, bus from the finish point Folly bridge back to Donnington Bridge 10 minute ride.
Take the wonderful walk on the tow path less than a mile back to your car, recommended.
Where will the toilets be?
Toilets will be at the start point and finish point.
What do I do with my bags?
At the start once you have registered & changed into your wetsuit you can then hand in your bags that will be transported to the finish. At the finish you’ll have to hand in your supplied tag to collect your bags. We recommend that you include some warm clothes. The collection team will ask to see you number before releasing any belongings. Car keys, etc will be safe in your bags and a safety team will handle all bags in a marshalled area.
What do I do while I’m waiting for the bus at the end of the swim?
When you’ve finished your swim and changed into your warm clothes we invite you to enjoy a coffee or tea with a slice of homemade cake.
Can under 18s swim in this event?
For this particular event we are able to get insurance for 14’s and above however, in addition to signing the waiver when you buy your under 18’s ticket, you must send a letter from a parent/guardian stating that your child is a strong swimmer, swims regularly with a club and has previous necessary open water experience, swimming against adults.

Swim Serpentine London
2017-09-16 | Hyde Park, London, United Kingdom
Entries are now open for the new events that have been added to Swim Serpentine, the open water swimming festival that will return to Hyde Park on Saturday 16 September 2017.
Swimmers now have the choice of a half-mile and two-mile swim, in addition to the hugely popular one-mile mass-participation swim which returns for the second year of the event.
In addition, the organisers have created the Swim Serpentine Super Six challenge, which offers the chance for swimmers to take on the challenge of swimming a total of six miles in five different races during the day.
“We have added these new events to the Swim Serpentine programme so that swimmers of all ages and abilities can enjoy open water swimming in the spectacular setting of the Serpentine,” said Hugh Brasher, Event Director. “In 2017, we look forward to welcoming swimmers from the age of 12 in the new half mile event and the very experienced open water swimmers who take on the Swim Serpentine Super Six challenge.
“With thousands of swimmers participating in the mass participation one mile events plus the great free family festival around the lake, it’s going to be a fantastic day.”
The new events are:

Half mile: entry fee £25.00 (minimum age 12 on 16 September 2017)
Two miles: entry fee £49.00 (minimum age 16)
Super Six: entry fee £150.00 (minimum age 18)

The entry fee for the one mile event is £39.00 and the minimum age for entry is 16 on the day.
Up to 6,000 swimmers will be accepted for the one-mile mass-participation event. Every swimmer will be able to choose a specific start wave which go off at regular intervals during the day. Wetsuits or tow floats are compulsory in all events. Both wetsuit and tow-float hire will be available beforehand and at the Serpentine on the day.
Online Entry
Entering Swim Serpentine
Online entry for all events at Swim Serpentine is now open. Entry is on a first come, first served basis so enter now to avoid disappointment.
Entries for all events close at 17:00 on Thursday 27 July 2017.
Half-Mile Swim
This distance is an ideal entry level open water swim. Taking in half a lap of the Serpentine, there is plenty of time to swim this distance at your leisure with a friend, race your mum or dad or just to try out an open water swimming event with an achievable but for some still challenging swim. Numbers are limited for this event, which will be held in the morning of Swim Serpentine, so don’t delay.
Half Mile Entry
Entry costs £25. Entrants must be at least 12 years old on Saturday 16 September 2017.
One-Mile Swim
A one-mile swim is a classic distance in the world of open water swimming events. Swim Serpentine takes place on the same course as the London 2012 Marathon Swimming Olympic event, with one full lap around the Serpentine making up the one-mile swim. This is the most popular of all the swim distances for Swim Serpentine with swimmers taking anything from 20 minutes through to one hour to complete the swim.
One Mile Entry
Entry costs £39. Entrants must be at least 16 years old on Saturday 16 September 2017.
Two-Mile Swim
For those who would like to test themselves with two full (1.6km) laps of the Serpentine. Aimed at more experienced swimmers who have already completed a mile open water swim previously. A challenging two-lap swim set in a beautiful location: what’s not to like?
Two Mile Entry
Entry costs £49. Entrants must be at least 16 years old on Saturday 16 September 2017.
Super Six
Swim six miles with a combination of one-mile and two-mile events during the day. All the ‘Super Sixers’ will start in the same one-mile wave, then how you complete the total distance is up to you. Choose to swim event after event, or take a break before you continue on with your swim.
Don’t underestimate this challenge – swimming for 10km straight is one thing, but the challenge for this swim is that the swimmer must to get out the water between each one or two-mile swim and wait for the next event to start, which makes this a tough challenge for any experienced swimmer. But with a special coloured swim hat for the Super Sixers and very limited spaces available, you’ll be treated like a true ‘Super (Six)’ Hero for the day.
Entry costs £150 and is limited to 60 swimmers. Entrants must be at least 18 years old on Saturday 16 September 2017.
Elite One-Mile Invitational Race
Entry into the Elite One-Mile Race is by invitation only. If you would like to be considered, please email Colin Hill at colin.hill@londonmarathonevents.co.uk
Elite entries are limited to 25 male and 25 female competitors. The minimum criteria from which the swimmers will be selected is 16:10 for the men (1500m time) and 9:00 for the women (800m time) or swimmers with international open water racing experience at FINA or LEN level.
There will also be an Elite Para One-Mile Invitational Race. Para swimmers should have international experience in the pool or triathlon and are selected by the Para elite manager.
Wetsuit & tow-float hire
Wetsuits are optional when the water temperature is over 15 degrees. However, for safety reasons, all swimmers must either wear a wetsuit or use a tow-float for all Swim Serpentine events.
As an official partner of Swim Serpentine, HUUB will provide wetsuits, swimwear and swim accessories to all swimmers looking to hire or purchase equipment for the event. Visit the HUUB Swim Serpentine page for more details.
Choosing your wave
The Swim Serpentine events will comprise a number of waves (groups).
If you enter Swim Serpentine, we will send you an email asking you to choose your wave, so you’ll be able to swim with friends and family if you’d like to. If you do not choose a wave, you will be allocated one according to your predicted finishing time.
