Back for our fifth year, these spectacular but challenging courses return! The first event in the Classic Element Trail Series, BigMud symbolises the element Earth. Three wild ‘n’ muddy, single lap trail runs around the scenic Meon Valley. You’ll have a choice of 50km Ultramarathon, Marathon or 16 mile distances, each starting at Queen Elizabeth Country Park in Hampshire, with a 518ft climb up to the highest point in the South Downs, Butser Hill……. twice! Once at the top, you will then head out over the trails and rolling hills of the South Downs National Park, with the finish back where you started at the bottom of Butser Hill. This event will certainly challenge you but the spectacular scenery and friendly, encouraging atmosphere will leave you with an enormous feeling of accomplishment!
