Always great events and ran this back in 2022 when it was dry but this time it lived up to its name and the rain really did deliver the mud. There are hills and the mud was insane but crazy fun insane and you should do it.

Fantastic location, great route, it certainly lived up to its name! Friendly marshals, well marked route, great medal, well stocked aid stations and plenty of hills and mud! We were kept informed about last minute changes to parking due to heave rain. Will definitely be back!

Another fantastic Big Feat event! Big Mud is definitely *not* a misnomer or false advertising - so no one need have any complaints about conditions underfoot! Plenty of hills and a beautiful course through the Meon Valley. I’ve been running Big Feat Events since their first Big Way Round at Winchester and they’ve gone from strength to strength over the years. They now probably provide the best value events (when balanced against the organisation, care and ‘extras’ such as medals, etc) in the South. As always: definitely recommend. Thank you Claire et al.
