MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
There's an obstacle course type offroad running race over near Baslow. March 31st. It's new this year. The entry fee is sensible unlike Tough Guy, which i think is about £80 now (!). Might be of interest to some:

The organisation is nothing to do with me but i have entered, it should be a laugh.
Anyone fancy it?
Nah. The only thing I did vaguely similar was a mud duathalon, where I bent my leg the wrong way misjudging the depth of a puddle. 10 years on and the knee is still a bit dodgy.
You'll be fine though 🙂
Ha, thanks for that 😆
What are the entrants to these events like?
It all looks a bit "wannabe-commando". I mean who wears a headband FFS.
Fairly accurate Cynic-Al. Let's just say they don't seem to attract many proper runners. I did "Hellrunner down South" a couple of years ago and came somewhere in the top 20 out of 1500 or so - that was no reflection of any fitness on my part, just lousy competition.
Which suits me fine, i might actually get on the podium 😉

other than for finbar who kindly posted the PSA for us to knock it looks a bit like you need to be keen on self improvement, maybe they have a stylist on hand to remove headbands? I'd imagine lycra under shorts would be popular so some on here may qualify:

I'm going for headband, lycra undershorts, a fuel belt, and compression socks. And a sheath knife.

No wire cutters?
and ipods
All good suggestions. I'll probably need to buy one of those £120 Salomon S-LAB rucksacks to keep it all in. Maybe some gels as well, it is 8km after all.
Combat boots and a compass built into the handle of your knife as well.
A casio G-shock is a must.
