New for 2016;
The 10 mile extension for the WRU 100, will be at the end of the 3 loops allowing you to drop to either the 30 or the 60 rather than a DNF, this should be a lot better for you than having the extension at the beginning as it was in 2015.
Event Centre now has a shower and more toilets, Hot running water a kitchen!
More exciting news to follow soon...

We cant recommend a visit to a professional Physiotherapist highly enough, injury is the No. 1, reason for DNF's and we bet 99% of DNF's could have been avoided!

So thanks to you all! - Sinead O'Connor 
Thank to everybody for a fantastic event yesterday. Well-organised race, friendly volunteers, great snacks, really clear signs, (barely had to double-check my Garmin & never touched my map), stunning scenery and even perfect weather After being ill with a horrible bug 10 days out, I was really worried I was going to have to ask if I could defer a second time, and I was always worried about the cutoff, (typically running 30M ultras in 9-10hours), so I was delighted that I felt OK all the way round and got a massive PB by about ~47mins... What hills??? - Jane Shadforth just want to say thanks to all the White Rose organisers and volunteers. I really enjoyed the event and the support from the checkpoint crews was great (especially the kids!). I have to admit, I wasn't sure how you were going to clearly mark a 30 mile course but you did a fantastic job and the markers were very easy to follow. Thanks everyone! - Laura Davies

I envied all those who were lounging, relaxing and watching football after 30mi but I had one more lap of 30 mi to do and two thirds of it was in the night. - Prashant Pise
The one thing that struck me about this race was how relaxed the organisation felt – not in a ‘relaxed = sloppy’ kind of way, but in that the organisers seemed relaxed and were having fun. It wasn’t one of those horribly knobby or high pressured start-lines, there was just a lovely atmosphere at the event. Would I do it again? Absolutely! - Cat Attfield What a great event, can't fault any part of this race. Well done guys - Ewan Malone Thank you for a superb event yesterday, really enjoyed it. Hats off to the feed station volunteers and marshals too for being so friendly and enthusiastic. I'll definitely be back next year! - James Rooney Team OA.. you did it again.. 
One of the great views of a fantastic day out, many thanks to all involved - Bob Horsman
This race opened my eyes to just how different the ultra crowd are. None of this clock watching, Garmin checking and run past and leave you for dead that you get in road races. - Erica Spellman 
One of the best day's running ever. Caz and I ran Team OA's White Rose Ultra. Stunningly beautiful route covering 60 miles and 10000ft of elevation gain around the High Peak, the Colne Valley and the Pennines. Highly recommended. There's a 30 mile option for those wanting to move up a bit more gently from the marathon distance. 
Before I start this blog post. I just want to say.....I AM AN ULTRA MARATHONER!!! |
Thank you all for organizing such a great event last Sunday. Had a brilliant time on the trails, on the roads and in the mud. The whole event was very well organized and the marshalls and volunteers helped out making last Sunday a memorable day. A special thanks to all aid station volunteers standing out there in the cold winds the entire day. I bow my head in gratitude. Greetings from Sweden. - Patrik Verme - 2014 Winner (60 miles)
Thanks for a really well organised and friendly run , your signposting was awesome ... For me not to get lost is a major achievement ( specially as we nearly didn't make it due to me putting the wrong postcode in my sat nav ) . I think if you could've flattened some of those hills first itd have been an ideal first ultra for me ... Maybe something to take on board for the next one - Jayne Moreton 
Thank you so much for your fab event yesterday. Even though I came last at just over 9 hours I was so impressed by the support and enthusiasm of all the marshalls/crew. Not one I will come back for (too hilly for us mere mortals) but I will back to help marshall next year! Well done guys. See you at the Chocothlon in April - and if you put on a Cakeathlon I am pretty sure I will be there for that as well! - Jennifer Hawkeby

2013 Amjid Khan, 30 mile, 7.47 David Mayfield, 30 mile, 6.25 Karen Nash, 30 mile, 5.12 James Young, 30 mile, 7.51 Andy Irvin, 30 mile, 5.57 Gary Wane, 30 mile, 6.04 Many thanks to Wane and his team for a super event. The food stations were well stocked and had smiling enthusiastic volunteers. Special mention too to Kati for keeping me supplied with cake, sugary tea and bacon sandwiches afterwards! 
I can honestly say that this was one of the best events I have ever participated in. The pre and post race communications were excellent, the team on the day were superb, friendly and even to a first timer like me were very inclusive. An ultra is certainly not easy but anyone with a good level of fitness can do one and more to the point really should do one. The White Rose Ultra was an excellent choice for my first ultra and it could be for you too. 
I was quite attracted to the fact that it was a 30 mile loop that the 60 mile race does twice. There is also a 30 mile option and for the first time this year a 100 mile option which is 3 loops plus a 10 mile loop at the start. - John Kynaston |
I took a minute to pull out my iPhone and take some pictures to capture the view... Kirk Hardwick
As a step towards zero waste at any of our events, we intent to go cup-less for the 2016 White Rose Ultra, this simply means that if you are not carrying a water bottle etc, you will need to bring some form of cup, that way we don't have to dispose off over 6000 plastic cups! Over 5 aid stations and the finish on the WRU30, 10+ aid stations on the WRU60 and 15+ aid stations on the WRU100 (thats 100 people using 15 aid stations!)
Before anyone suggests we are been tight, we only pay about £1.99 /100 its not the financial cost its the environmental cost, simply a huge amount off waste, that we are no longer willing to create.
