Beat The Bell - 1 Mile to Ultra

Sun 16th August 2026

A white and black pub called "The Anchor Inn" with a sign showing a sailor holding an anchor, benches outside, and a parked car in front under a tree. The building has a sloped roof and tall brick chimneys. A dirt path cuts through a vast field of green leafy crops, leading towards a distant line of bare trees under a cloudy sky. Rows of young fruit trees in an orchard, with grassy paths and patches of bare soil between them. Yellow dandelions are scattered in the grass, and the sky is hazy in the background. A country road curves gently uphill between green fields, with trees and clouds in the distance under a blue sky. A lone figure stands near the top of the hill, partially silhouetted against the sky. A grassy meadow with a narrow dirt path leads toward dense green trees. A church steeple rises above the treetops under a partly cloudy blue sky. A wide, grassy field at dusk with layers of green vegetation and a row of tall trees silhouetted against a pale, fading sky.
