BigHeat - Classic Element Trail Series
For those of you who like your trail running Feats to be BIG, we give to you the Classic Element Trail Series. Four trail running events based on the 4 classic elements…. Earth, Water, Fire and Air.

The 3rd event in The Classic Element Trail Series is BigHeat. Symbolising the element Fire, we have designed 2 scorching single lap trail runs that will take you along the winding dusty tracks and through the sun baked forests and open sandy plains of Thursley & Hankley Commons. You'll have a choice of Marathon or 16 mile distances, each starting and finishing at The Royal School in Haslemere., and taking in the very best of the Surrey countryside!

We also strongly advise runners to download the GPX file of the route onto a wearable watch or mobile device. Although this is a marked course event, arrows can be tampered with, so a good understanding of the route is advisable.

PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION
We are very proud to have partnered with Precision Fuel & Hydration for our Classic Element Trail Series events.
Each Aid Station will be stocked with PH 1000 electrolyte liquid and assorted snacks/gels.
PH 1000, is a low-cal electrolyte drink designed to help you hit your fluid and sodium numbers. It delivers 1,000mg of sodium per litre, which is about what the average athlete loses per litre of sweat.
A selection of energy products and snacks will sit alongside PH 1000 on-course to help you hit your carb targets. “Decoupling” your fueling and hydration can be beneficial during longer endurance races, as you can adjust each one as needed.
* Low-cal drink delivering 1000mg of sodium per litre
* Mild citrus flavour to avoid flavour-fatigue
