In this episode I speak to returning guest Stu Westfield from Ranger Ultras.

Ranger Ultras hold a special place for me and my racing career, with the PB57 being my first race win back in 2019.
So this conversation is a catch up with Stu and a chat about what we've both been up to over the years since we last sat down for chat. 
Stu's races really are representative of what local grassroots ultramarathon's are all about. Low prices, maximum fun and a loyal community of racers. If you haven't done one of Stu's races before then I suggest you look them up!

Stu spent many years as part of the Spine safety team, before setting up his own race company rangerultras.co.uk.
Ranger Ultras delivers financially accessible events in and around the Peak District and Yorkshire Moors.

In line with his ethos of low key, high quality events. Stu felt that trail runners should be able to enjoy the views of the Pennines that the big corporate sponsored multi-day races offer (mentioning no names) but without the huge price tag. This led to the conception of his PB270 and PB137 races in April.
Both fully supported start the clock ultras up the Pennine Bridleway, from Middleton Top near Matlock, to Kirkby Stephen for the 270.
The 137 goes from Hebden Bridge to Kirkby Stephen, starting a day later.

All of the wow factor of a multi-day race along the Pennines, but without the traveling circus and high costs.

Ranger Ultras currently offer the below races throughout the year for you to get stuck into!

PB270 - Pennine Bridleway Challenge
