← BRUTAL Spider Hill
If you've run a Brutal before you know what to expect, and this had everything we love about the events. Twisty technical trails, "omg I've got to run up THAT?!?" hills, deep water crossings, mud, and some actual running too!
Despite the mad nature of the course it's impossible to get lost, these things are really well organised. Spider Hill also scored points with me for being a single 10km loop rather than laps, and for not just relying on hills for the challenge.
I've run half a dozen of these events since discovering them in February and I'm sure I'll be running many more. I consider myself pretty lucky to have such a great series more or less on my doorstep.
