2 races
£22.26 - £29.68
Organiser's Description
Although the GRIM is a tough trail race in which you will certainly find yourself cold, wet and dirty at points, we don't build any ramps, walls or swings on the course, all the obstacles are natural obstacles formed by tanks driving over the route or incessant rain in the weeks leading up to it. In a few places you will be crawling under cargo nets or wading though waist high water but the GRIM is a running race, albeit a challenging one.

How to Get There
Leave the M3 at junction 4 and take the A331 Aldershot.
After approximately 5 miles, take the A323 Aldershot turnoff. Follow signs for Aldershot town centre A323. Carry straight on until you get to the Naafi (Burger King) roundabout. Take the 3rd exit. Burger King restaurant is on your right. At next roundabout turn right, A323 Fleet. At the large Wellington Roundabout, Wellesley Road, take the 2nd exit signposted Church Crookham & Rushmoor Arena. After 500m, take the first right turn signposted Royal Garrison Church & Rushmoor Arena. After 150m take the first left signposted Rushmoor Arena and Aldershot Raceway. All these roads will have large yellow GRIM Car Park signs on them.
Sat Nav
GU11 2HL – follow the signs rather than your sat nav when in the area.
By Train
Exit Aldershot Station and walk straight on down Station Road (following signs for the Information Centre) until you reach a set of lights. Turn right. This road leads to the Naafi roundabout. Follow ‘By Car’ instructions from there.
The distance from the train station is 2.5 miles. There is a taxi rank outside the station. Please allow enough time for your journey. We suggest that you arrive at least an hour before the event.
Parking
There are plenty of parking spaces available at the site. Please note that while we can park you right at the venue, there is only one entrance and exit so there might be a short queue while you exit the site.
