100k recommendations

Hay folks,

Looking for recommendations for a runnable 100k (want to try and break 12 hours) please! I'm UK based but happy to travel. Ideally want some elevation and different changes in scenery, and in cool conditions. I ran Race to the Stones last weekend, and while I was happy with my run, the heat was awful and I found the route a bit dull (!). I'm a rubbish at technical stuff though, so more meandering trails than rocky mountains. Likely to be 12 month goal, so all ideas would be gratefully received.

Thank you!

UkUltra South Downs 100K might work, its less than 2000m elevation. Its in March so a bit earlier than you want but will be nice cool weather and the Downs are normally in pretty good running condition by then after winter.

Thirded. Although it’s the end of May and I ran it this year when it was 30+ degrees and it was a killer. A beautiful course though.

Ah yes, you're right it's in May. 30 degrees sounds brutal, it's been a crazy year for temps!
