I have just coughed up my entrance fee.

Anyone else contemplating this torture? It looks like a corker.

Hi vipper, That looks insane! Have to give it a bash.

Everyone - the video on the web site has to be seen to be believed!

Love the devil watching over it all!

10 - 12 miles, it`ll be a killer!

10k is about my normal range . . .

Anyone done one of these before?

how do you train for the bog of doom?

I'm considering it. The Grim8 is very likely with a team of 3 of my running buddies but I've not convinced any of them to enter HellRunner too!

I'm warming to the idea, but I don't think this is a run you tackle alone.

EnigmaUK, are you also doing The Grim Duathlon?

I'm still not sure about doing this and the Grim but if you want to form a small team let me know, I could be persuaded.

This event looks like one of the most fun things which can be physically achieved.
Closer to the event, I am almost guaranteed in. It'll be a great way to send off an old pair of running shoes.

Disco, AdamT, Nollie - so are we going to do the "Woodley mob" thing?

Nollie, I'm sure a lift can be arranged but I might drop you a few miles away so we finish together . . .

Superb!

I am planning on tackling a back to back endurathon of the Grim and the Hellrunner. It sounds like a bug team will be hitting both.

By my dodgy count the team is:

vipper
nollie
Disco
JohnFol.
enigmauk

Hillary and Tensing eat your heart out. Any more volunteers?

Me too, I will enter both this week. I'm doing the Grim with some chaps from the office but I'll attempt to book us in on the same day as the rest of you (Saturday?)
