Organiser's Description
20 years on and the G3 off road race is still the best and toughest winter trail run in the South East. With cracking views from the start, the route crosses meadows, descends steep, muddy hills, climbs on deep sandy trails and passes through beech and pine forests. And that's just the half of it! The return is more of the same, ending with a tough climb to the finish line!
