How far do you run?

It's only a 5k but in actual fact it's nearer 7 or 8k

 

There's also the night run which is 10k but nearer 12-13k

 

Not really the distance that's the tough bit just the fact that it's mostly up & down steep muddy hills through forests & rivers etc. & the fresh three inch fall of snow the night before made it all the more interesting (but fun).

 

Good laugh & great for a fitness test. a lot better than just normal running imo cos you're basically working so much.

 

I didn't help myself much by taking a wrong turn for a couple of hundred yards til I realised I must be going the wrong way but thankfully it was along a flat fire track that I went wrong & didn't have to go back up or down a big hill to get back to where I should have been. I basically turned & went along the fire track rather than crossing over it & carrying on down through the trees.
