There are also one-off lists for topics such as longest flights, steepest streets, and off-the-beaten-path locations.<\/li>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"an1\" src=\"https:\/\/fonts.gstatic.com\/s\/e\/notoemoji\/15.1\/2764_fe0f\/72.png\" alt=\"&#x2764;\" data-emoji=\"&#x2764;\" aria-label=\"&#x2764;\" \/>\u00a0Damian\u00a0is a doing a\u00a0talk on Jan 10th,\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/pay.collctiv.com\/navigating-your-first-ultramarathon-tickets-22303\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/pay.collctiv.com\/navigating-your-first-ultramarathon-tickets-22303&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1733569227779000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2wgMS16FwMwpt5Km2eWZQn\">Navigating Your First Ultramarathon<\/a><\/em>, all proceeds are going to Kili4Kids (a charity supporting Birmingham Children\u2019s Hospital).
