Best Ultra Marathons: Incredible tried and tested ultras you'll want to run

In June Run Tester Kieran is about to take on one of the oldest and most iconic ultras, the Comrades Marathon. That'll be his 30th ultra all across the world from the UK, to Europe and Africa, so we asked him to look back and share the runs that he's enjoyed the most.
These are his favourites across the different distances from the 50km to the 100 miler, and everything from shorter coastal runs, to mountain ultras,
100 milers and multi stage races.
This isn’t a list of the best ultras in the world. But it is a selection of really incredible tried and tested ultras.
There should be something for everyone no matter what stage you’re at. So if you’re looking for some bucket list inspiration you’ve come to the right place. Hit play for some of the best bucket list-worthy ultra marathons.
