Sunday, 1st November 2009, 11am. After looking for something so painful, strenuous and legal on google, I discovered Hell Up North. I will be running in: HellRunner™ is over multi-terrain and varying underfoot conditions. There will be everything from running tracks and trails to water-filled areas and plenty of steep hills. It will be nature at its toughest. All I need to know is that the course will be probably more than 10 and less than 12 miles in length.
Completed, 2 events down and raised around £400 so far...
