GRIZZLY

MULTI-TERRAIN – RURAL – HILLY Twenty-ish muddy, hilly, boggy, beachy miles make this race a badge of honour among masochistic runners. If the course is punishing – and, boy, it is – it’s also picturesque, taking in the seaside towns of Branscombe and Beer. Make a weekend of it and remember: pain is temporary, bragging rights are forever. South Devon, March 18, axevalleyrunners.org.uk
