Running Challenges, by Keri Wallace, is like a tour guide for Trail running in the UK. It features 100 of the best trail, fell and mountain runs in England, Scotland and Wales, and those three countries make up the three sections of the book. There is something for everyone with the shortest challenges being 5k parkruns and the longest ones going over 100k. 

Keri Wallace is a mountain runner, running guide for Girls on Hills (which she also founded), rock climber and freelance writer. She is Summer Mountain Leader (SML), Rock Climbing Instructor (RCI) qualified, and mother. In 2018 Keri represented the UK Skyrunning Team and came 12th in the GORE-TEX® Transalpine-Run. Other top finishes include 1st V40 in the Skyline Scotland Glen Coe Skyline, 5th female in the Ben Nevis Ultra, 3rd female in the 2019 Pinnacle Extreme, 7th female in the Cheviot Goat Ultra 2022, 3rd female in the Pilgrim's Ultra in 2023 and 5th female at the Ultra Tour Monte Rosa (UTMR) 2023. She also finished 3rd female in the UK & Ireland Skyrunning Series that same year. Keri holds the female FKT for the Winter Tranter's Round, Glencoe Round, the OKT (if you don't know what this is then you'll just need to listen to the episode!) for the Glencoe Corbetts Round and completed the first Glencoe Classic Rock Round in under 24h with her partner Ben.
