Grand Union Canal Race 145 mile (GUCR)

London – Birmingham

“The Long Run – Uphill”

GUCR is the first of a three race series “The Canalslam” totalling over 400 miles.  Each race can be entered as a one-off, but competitors completing all three receive a special award.

• Easy route navigation – detailed maps and a canal to follow.
• Plenty of support – snacks and drinks every 10 –15 miles.
• Transport for retirees – a lift to the nearest station for anyone having a bad day.
• Easy to meet cut-off times – simply in line with the generous overall time limits.
• No qualification – previous experience of just a marathon has proven enough.
