Running

that's closed for this year isn't it?
Ideally something around november would be good. I was ready to start taper for amsterdam but it all went tits up so I wouldn't mind keep the momentum and find something a bit later.

Ah sorry, that was one I'd heard mentioned by a club mate so I didn't actually read the page.

This is a useful page:

Or there's joggers world race finder.

I think that traditionally, the winter is for XC before transitioning to the road or track as your preference goes, so there aren't a lot of road races over the winter.
