← Gritstone Grind
The Gritstone Grind is a well organised and chip-timed race along the public paths that make up the Gritstone Trail. As it follows a signed public right of way, no further race markings were required. I would recommend a course recce though as there are a few sections where it's possible to miss the signs. Although the race-booklet that was sent out highlighted the less obvious bits. And whilst it's a good route for your first trail ultra, that doesn't mean it's easy. After a jog along the canal to begin with there are 5 main hills to negotiate. This is a race you'll know about afterwards. And be thrilled to have done it.
