Organiser's Description
All the things you love about the Gut Buster will be still be here!! The water crossings, Roman Walls, fields, footpaths, and what is sometimes the hardest last 400m in British Athletics [farmer/ crop rotation dependent]. The epic mudfest of 2017 will be talked about for years to come…what more excuse do you need to escape the family during the holiday season!

Staggered start times with small groups of runners starting at timed intervals apart from the next group
Faster runners will start first to reduce the likelihood of needing to overtake
The event will be limited to fewer participants than in previous years
No on the day entries
There will be no water stations – you will need to carry your own water for the event
We will ensure that everyone is kept updated with regards to these changes and final instructions will be available shortly before race day.
