When Lahcen Ahansal, ten times winner of the Marathon des Sables, turns up as the sweep for an ultra marathon in the mountains, you can be sure it is going to be something pretty special.

UTAT (Ultra Trail Atlas Toubkal) has to be the best kept secret in Britain. It is a stonking race, ideally suited to our British desire for punishment with a little bit of self-flagellation thrown in. So far, though, the French, Italians and Spanish have been keeping it all to themselves.

Mandy Davin started running to work 14 months ago and discovered that she enjoyed it. In March 2014 she decided to run for Charity Headway and set herself "a marathon a month". She originally planned to enter the 2016 MDS but tried her luck and applied for 2015. Other than the 50k ‘54321’ in Salisbury and Marathon des Sables she has never run more than 42km.
