HELL UP NORTH:

DELAMERE FOREST PARK SUNDAY NOVEMBER 7th

We're back with a Sunday "double-header"...options to run in either the MORNING 10.00am ("Hell Up North: Morning Glory") or AFTERNOON 13.00pm ("Hell Up North: The Aftermath") PUMA HellRunner.

The PUMA 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. Expect to get very wet! It will be nature at its toughest. The course will be marked but do not expect to see mile or kilometre markers….that’s for those softy road running types. All you need to know is that the course will be probably more than 10 and less than 12 miles in length. Hey! With what we have in store, who’s counting?

IT IS NOT NECESSARY THAT YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SWIM BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THE COURSE MAY WELL BE UNEVEN, SLIPPERY, STONY AND WET...

The PUMA HELLRUNNER™ - We’re talking REAL TRAIL RUNNING!
