Running the Grizzly is fantastic - the people (competitors and marshals), the challenges (the river crossings, the mud, the hills/cliffs etc) and the surprises that they sprinkle in (past participants know what I mean!)

We enjoyed the whole weekend - going to the quiz on the previous evening as a group (and doing OK), Seaton parkrun and the event itself.

The sound of everyone running across the shingle beach is totally incredible (and indeed the feeling of having someone else's legs at the end of the beacj and coming onto the road without even  a mile done!) and things just get better and better!

I did make the mistake of not wearing grippy enough trail shoes for the depth of the mud this year (lulled into a false sense of security by previous years!) - but having the fire brigade hose us all down at the end made sure that the mud did not leave the seafront!!
