Event summary
Get ready to push your limits at The Gurkha Run Salisbury, organized by findarace.com. Taking place on Monday 6th October 2014 in Tidworth, Wiltshire, this event offers participants the chance to challenge themselves on Salisbury Plain, the British Army's top training area. With 10k and half marathon options available, runners will face tough hills, water obstacles, and even a Gurkha fitness station. The highlight of the race is the Doko Race, where participants carry weight uphill - a nod to the Gurkha soldiers who do the same with 75lb of stones on their back. Don't worry, your weight will be much lighter, and you won't have to trek all the way to Nepal for this thrilling experience!
