Ultra Marathons in Monmouthshire, in context
Ultra marathons make up most of Monmouthshire's racing on Verus — 3 of 6 races, or about 50%. If you run this distance, this is a well-served county.
The dates cluster into 3 months — April, May and July — so there is a window rather than a rolling calendar.
Of those that publish an elevation figure, the flattest is Epona 100 at 16,998ft of climb and the hilliest Wild Horse South Wales 200 at 30,000ft — the same distance, but not the same afternoon.
If none of these fit, the counties where Verus covers the most racing overall are Powys (12), Cardiff (5) and Swansea (5).
