Along the way participants tackle hills, stiles, narrow pinch points and even a water crossing, creating a race that rewards agility and determination as much as speed.

While personal best times are rarely the focus, the combination of scenic views, diverse terrain and unique course features makes the Blakedown Bolt a favourite among runners seeking something different from a traditional road race.
