The Mendip Muddle is our toughest race. Held over 20km (12 miles) of the finest Mendip Hills, the course is hilly (there’s 420m of climb) and set in some of the finest scenery in the West Country. There are Roman lead mines, underground rivers, a nature reserve, open moorland, potholes, an ancient rabbit warren, an Iron Age fort and prehistoric tumuli. You will run past Velvet Bottom, Rhino Rift, Beacon Batch, Twin Brooks, Dolebury, Rowberrow Bottom, Tyning's, Black Down and Rains Batch. All but 2km of the course is off road and it can get a little boggy in places so make sure you bring your off road shoes.

This years race will be held on Sunday 8 October at 11:00am, at the usual location of Charterhouse Centre, Nr Blagdon, Bristol, BS40 7XR (Between Cheddar and Blagdon in North Somerset: OS grid reference 502558). Registration will be from 9:30am to 10:40am.

Sunday saw 45 of Weston Athletic Club’s members travel to Bridgwater or Glastonbury for the towns’ 10k races. Conditions were pretty perfect, and the forecast rain held-off until after both events.
