All the things you love about the Gut Buster, will be there again in 2020 β well 2021 now! The water crossings, Roman Walls, fields, footpaths, and what is sometimes the hardest last 400m in British Athletics [farmer/ crop rotation dependent]. The epic mudfest of 2017 will be talked about for years to comeβ¦what more excuse do you need to escape the family during the holiday season β even itβs Easter and not Christmas as usual!
This year the event will have a few changes to ensure everyoneβs safety and that the event is COVID-19 safe. This will include, but not limited to:
- Staggered start times with small groups of runners starting at timed intervals apart from the next group
- Faster runners will start first to reduce the likelihood of needing to overtake
- The event will be limited to fewer participants than in previous years
- No on the day entries
- Race numbers will be posted prior to the event
- We do not encourage spectators at the event
- There will be no water stations β you will need to carry your own water for the event
