As the 2024 trail and ultra-running season comes to a close, our thoughts turn to the epic events of the year.
From Jack Scott’s win and new course record at the Spine race back in January, to Jasmin’s first woman to complete 5 loops at Barkley, to Sarah Perrys stoic backyard success, the year has been an exceptional one for British trail and ultra running.
So we at The Ultrarunning Sam Podcast, Home Trails, RunUltra and Robins Running Roundup decided that we just can’t let another year slip by, without celebrating the fine achievements of some of our best and brightest athletes!
So we have created TURA…..the TRAIL and ULTRA RUNNING AWARDS 2024!
With the legacy sporting media seemingly unaware of the amazing achievements of British runners, (BBC SPOTY ahem!) WE decided it was time to take things into our own hands!
So how do WE do it? Well that’s where YOU come in….
Please take 5 minutes (or as long as you want) to fill out the voting survey below and let us know you you think deserves to be recognised for their contribution to trail and ultra running this year.
You might be thinking ‘what do I get out of this?’ Great question……YOU get to win a prize bundle worth over £300! Including prizes from VAGA, ULTRA mag, Precision Fuel and Hydration, X Miles, UGOKU, Caffeine Bullet and many many more!
Complete the voting form and your name will be added into the prize draw. All votes will be counted and the person/entity/product with the most votes wins.
Voting ends on the 5th of January 2025 and the winner will be announced on the 6th, along with the winners from all categories that you vote on. So get voting to be in with a chance to snag those goodies!
IMPORTANT: The few names listed for each category are just suggestions to get your brain working! These awards are open to everyone and if you feel that someone is worthy of winning any of the categories, then please fill their name in! We don't feel like a big corporation should be responsible for making a decision about an award for OUR sport, we want YOU to choose the winners!
Please take advantage of the 'OTHER - PLEASE SPECIFY' box to add in your favourite runner/race/media personality!
Again, thank you for taking the time to read this ranty paragraph and for taking part!
