Beacon Bash

In theory, this hilly, offroad event through the countryside surrounding the village of Parbold measures 21 miles, but because runners have to navigate their own way using no more than written instructions, there’s a chance you may well end up going a bit further if you take the odd wrong turning. If you don’t fancy taking it on alone, there’s the option to compete as a relay team of three, so you can share the blame around afterwards, wherever you are. November 4, Lancashire, madbullevents.com
