Last year we had over 20 members taking part including many of our juniors. If you don't fancy the main run come along and do the mini-challenge which is basically the first part of the main race and includes the first hill. If you don't fancy running at all come along and support and have a walk too. The cyclists could ride out and give everyone a cheer and then ride home.

He says: "It’s all about the run and the views. There’s no facilities, souvenir, beer tent etc etc it’s just a lovely run through wonderful surroundings." The route is self-navigating. It will be partially marshalled and marked with tape but there is a certain element of self navigation. An a4 print out will be available. 

                                                                                        Full Info here; OS map showing location here. For Google maps nearest post code is TA5 1SA
