Event summary
Organiser's Description
The UK's toughest 10km.
Based on an Army basic training exercise. The first and only civilian event of its kind
Hit the target or face the penalty. Experience the adrenaline of a cross-country race, combined with the thrill of shooting.
The Concept:
One 10km course, three shooting challenges. 20 targets for you to hit in total.
These are air-rifle or shotgun depending on your event
For every shot you miss you face a 250m penalty loop before you can continue.
Hit 20/20 and run 10km.
Hit 0/20 and run 15km.
Hit 15 or more shots and reach ‘marksman’ status

Faqs - The Event
When is it? You will need to arrive an hour before your start time to complete registration. During registration you’ll receive a safety briefing, your registration number and timing chip, and have the chance to meet other people taking part.
Is there an age restriction? The minimum age is 18, there is no upper age limit.
How far is it? The minimum route is 10km – if you miss all of your shots you’ll run a maximum of 15km.
Do I need to train? You’ll need to train for the run! The better prepared you are for the run the steadier your hands will be for the shooting. We will send you a training plan to make sure you’re in tip top condition and stand more chance of hitting those targets.
What should I bring? A full kit list will be sent once you have registered.
Faqs - The Shooting
Who is managing the shooting/ranges? The weapons and ranges are managed by British Shooting and E.J. Churchill. Instruction will be on a one-on-one basis
Is it safe? Safety is paramount – to ensure this we have teamed up with British Shooting and E.J. Churchill to ensure that the weapons are carefully controlled and managed. Each range will have qualified instructors who will work with each runner one on one. As with all such events which require physical exertion there is a small risk, however we do everything we can to get you as prepared as possible for the run itself.
What will I be shooting? Two shooting challenges will be using an Air-Arms MPR and the third using a shotgun.
