The Bob Graham round is probably the one big run that all fell runners (especially those that live within spitting distance of the Lakes) aspire to do at some stage in their running carrier.

Technically its less milage and less climbing than the Lakeland 100, but it has to be one of the toughest runs going with a 24 hour limit (16 less than the lakeland 100) and it covering all of the major lakeland summits (so its steeper than the Lakeland 100).

It is also something that requires a lot of planning and getting a support team together as there are no checkpoints or feed stations. So while its certainly on my bucket list it isn’t a race that i’d consider as a next step to a marathon…It could be my challenge for 2012 though (if i get around the 100).
