This race had interested me for some time as I had learned about it from a Facebook group in 2022 where the RD was advertising it, he stated that not a single woman had completed the race. This of course pipped my curiosity and I wanted to know why. It was 100 miles and similar elevation to the Beacons Way at 22,660 ft and had a 32 hour cut off. It was ten 10 mile laps of Box Hill in Surrey. No mountains but plenty of steps. The Mickleham Village Hall start and finish location was a checkpoint, plus another checkpoint at Box Hill Village Hall 5 miles into the route, so checkpoints every 5 miles and access to your drop bag every 10 miles. On paper it did not seem an unreasonable ask.
