The iconic GUT BUSTER, the best way to end the year.... water crossings, Roman Walls, fields, footpaths, and what is sometimes the hardest last 400m in British Athletics [farmer/ crop rotation dependent].

The epic mud-fest of 2017 and 2022 will be talked about for years to come…what more excuse do you need to escape the family during the holiday season! In addition to the above we also hope to have a local brewery, massage and refreshments πŸ™‚

We will also have the usual post-race mulled-wine & mince pies and of course the finisher medal and an iTAB engraved with your name and finish time!

β€œDefinitely a race everyone should do. 2 hour cut off is achievable by runners and joggers alike. Most fun I’veΒ had on a trail run.”

β€œAbsolutely loved it. Proper mudfest. Great logistics. Thanks very much for organising it!”

β€œThis is a great event and an absolute must do between Christmas and New Year to burn off someΒ Christmas calories. A supererb course, great fun and always muddy! Sign up ealry as it always sells out.”
