Rob Anderson has provided details of 12, 18 and 26.2 mile races in Stevenage on 18 July: Below is a link to the Fairlands Valley Challenge, this consists of 3 separate distance runs, a 12 miler, an 18 miler, and a 26.2 miler, all multi terrain I believe. Steve Colbourne has entered, and also handed out a few forms at the club I think, but it may be worth adding to the Fixtures Page for more people to see.

Time expected was the time achieved so I’m pleased given how hot it was! Nice one Julie, a sub-60 10K is good any day of the week but given the heat yesterday it’s even better!
