I've entered two more races in preparation for the Gower marathon. A 15 mile run in October and a 10 mile run in November. Both are interesting and not like the usual road runs. I chose them specifically to get more cross country/trail running under my belt and because I like the more unusual races.
Quicksand 15 - 10th October
"At 15 mile multistage beach race. Can you beat the tide? A race on Sand, Pebble, Rock, Chalk, Grass, Road, and Concrete... and possibly other terrains as well."
Saab Salomon Turbo X 10 mile trail run. 22nd November.
"The maddest, muddiest run of the Saab Salomon Trail Running Series and will not disappoint with 10 miles of the gnarliest mix of mud, sweat and trail! Hidden within a natural assault course of water, sand, marsh and muck lurks the SAAB X ZONE.... A 1- 2 mile section of the craziest trail terrain to push your stamina, agility and perseverance to the limit! You'll wade through watery wildness, clamber through mud, sand and bog, charging your way through the roughest off road track you can imagine."
i'll be interested to hear how these work. hope they're fun and not too 'gimmicky' ,for want of better word. but they certainly sound interesting!
ReplyDeleteYeah, there always is the possibility that they will be too silly rather than interesting but I'm looking forward to giving them a go.
