Ben Peresson and Richard Groome from UMUK join me to talk about their ultra races and share their backgrounds in the sport.
Ben is a “black shirt” Norseman Xtreme racer and Marathon Des Sables finisher. Richard has taken on The Brutal and rode every stage of the Tour de France with a magazine map as his guide.
Together, they, like many race directors, fell into organizing the UMUK rather than see it go away. We discuss the direction of their events and they give an excellent description of what makes the Snowdonia region of Wales an exceptional place to host a 515 event.
This year's event is happening September 1 - 3, 2023. You can follow on Instagram.
