The BRAT club had its annual trip to Baggeridge Country Park on Sunday 20th November for the Action Heart Tuff’Un.
The race is off-road and takes in 6 miles of mud, sweat and tiers within in the confines of Baggeridge Country Park. The course has a bit of everything with single tracks, hills, a little mud and a shallow stream crossing.
As is traditional BRAT turned up in force and took the award for the most participants from one club, an award we have taken since it’s inception.
November provided us perfect weather for the event, with bright sunshine and just cold enough to make the ‘water feature’ a bit of a challenge. In spite of all the rain we’ve had over the past few weeks nobody had to swim the water crossing.
There was also great success for our female runners who had a muddy sweep at the top of the order:
- Naomi Rae
- Claire Keene
- Jemima Jackson (who also won fastest junior)
Ben Stokes kept the mens honour intack by brining home the award for fastest vet. Full results are available here.
All in all a cracking day, finished off with our traditional visit to the Pie Factory!
