Ok, I have a place for this, never done it before. Tell me, is it good and should I be scared?

My favourite race. Great terrain, fab views, lots of encouragement, cameraderie, lovely refuelling options at the end, tasteful T-shirt, well thought out spot prizes.

I did it last year and loved it. Admittedly I went with 3 club mates and we decided we were going to run round together and just have a laugh, which made the tough bits a bit more bearable. I would certainly do it again if I'm ever lucky enough to get another place!

And they say that if you run it hard, expect it to take the time it takes you to run a road marathon!

Its the worst race and the best race all rolled into one. I've done the Cub and the Grizzly, and I'd do the Grizzly again just for entertainment value alone, the Cub is the worst bits of the Grizzly. Be prepared for amazing scenery, all the weather, hills, MUD, beer, the BEST marshal stops, great t-shirts and probably the best atmosphere you'll ever run in. Don't hope for a PB though, go and keep your head up and enjoy it for what it is

Thank you. I survived 😊👍 so chuffed. Hard as nails race. Couldn't get over the size of those hills and that mud! Loved it though and hope to do it again.
