Brilliant, inclusive event. This is the second year I have taken part in the Bloodaxe Challenge and both years I have really enjoyed it.
The fact that it a time limited event means there is no pressure to compete with other runners, you can just go at your own pace and set a target of however many laps you want to aim for.
It caters for entrants of all abilities, from those just walking a few laps to the elite runners aiming for pb's. It is chipped timed but you are also free to stop and have a rest and a bit of cake if you want to, and then carry on. There are fantastic medals and goodie bags to everyone who completes a minimum of 1 lap too.
I would definitely recommend this event. I'll be doing my 3rd year next year for sure.
