Race gallery: Mike Clyne took the camera along on the Royal Parks Foundation Ultra - October 6, 2013
Congratulations to Mike Clyne who is now officially an ultra runner! Mike completed the 2013 Royal Parks Ultra finishing in position 203 in a time of 05:58:03.
Mike will be writing up his full report very soon but to in the meantime you can see a couple of photos from his 50km run (just click on the 'Gallery' button above).
We had a quick catch up with Mike just after the race and he said "I loved the race, I had a personal goal to get to the finish line before 6 hours which I did. The race was really well organised and had a lovely feel to it. For my first Ultra I couldn't have asked for anything better and I really enjoyed it".

Mike Clyne
Mike has been writing the occasional article for Run247 for the past few years.
Since his debut marathon (Abingdon 1983) aged 16, he has now completed 34 stand-alone marathons and has completed 10 Ironman triathlons (that include a marathon at the end). He has finished the London Marathon on 14 occasions and has also run a few times as a Runners World pacer hitting his target every time (except his 2014 DNF). Mike is currently targeting the Comrades Marathon on 10th June and, yes, he is nervous about this!
When he isn’t plodding around these races he can also be heard on the microphone as commentator and announcer at a number of events.
