The Grizzly 2011 Sunday 13th March Entries will open in September (probably on the evening of Friday 24th).

We have some of the green 2010 medium and large sweatshirts still available for £15 inc P&P.

Twentyish muddy, hilly, boggy, beachy miles of the multiest-terrain running experience you will find this side of the end of time. It's by no means the toughest race around (honestly!), has changed over the years and nearly died on a few occasions, but hundreds of you keep coming back for more so we must still be getting it right. Whatever it isn't, it is an experience.

I have run in a few races but have never been in a race that manages to create physical challenge whilst taking a sideways glance at running, allowing all involved to emerge with a crooked grin on their face! - A Grizzly runner.

Past results.

Replay the 2009 race

You can follow some runners' progress on an aerial view at RunReplay.com. If you ran with a GPS and still have the data you can upload it and follow your own progress as well. Some of the hashes on the site make particularly fascinating viewing with all their false trails.

2007 Film

ITV Westcountry local news showed a short piece on the race which can be played via Flash or downloaded as a full-res (4.4M) or low-res (450K) WMV file. (Note that the low-res version is not very good quality - only really useful for those on dial-up.)
