Event summary
Join Big Bear Events for the Dormouse Challenge on Wednesday 20th November 2024. This unique event allows you to choose your own race distance on a 3.5-mile off-road loop, ranging from 5k to over 80k within a 6-hour time limit. The Altra try-on event will also be taking place, where participants can test out different models of Altra's foot-shaped shoes on the trails. Paul, a big fan of Altra, will be there to guide you through the experience. Don't miss this opportunity to try out new shoes and challenge yourself on the beautiful trails. No hard sell, just pure running enjoyment!
Organiser's Description
How far is the race?
You decide! The 3.5-mile off-road loop means your race can be 5k or even over 80K and anywhere in between. You decide how many laps you're going to do on the day within the 6-hour time limit. If you're looking to cover a marathon distance you'll need to complete 7 laps (+ a little out and back) and a half marathon will be 3 laps (+ an out and back).
What’s an Altra try-on event?
Our friends at Altra will be coming along with a complete set of a few different models of their amazing foot-shaped shoes for you to try out on the trails! Simply take your size out for a lap or 3 and see what you think.
I, Paul, am I a big fan of Altra and have been wearing them pretty much exclusivly since 2018. They are different (in a good way!) and so being able to go for an actual run on actual trail is a great opportunity. The lapped format means if you don’t get on with them it’s just one lap of discomfort - not your whole event!
No catches, no hard sell and no ruined event! We’re just trying to add something else to your day.
