We will list all of the planned Grizzly Training on these pages over the coming few months, although these are being planned with the Grizzly in mind, they are for anyone that wants to train on trails throughout the winter months.
The plan will be to organise hilly, muddy and traily runs. Unless we have extreme weather that is dangerous, they will continue in rain, sleet, or snow and irrespective of the temperature at the time! SO, please, please, do come prepared - wrap up warm, bring fuel and water AND expect to get muddy and wet!!
The aim of the sessions is to get hilly miles in the bank and to test endurance, they are not about speed and racing up and down the hills, so please don't be put off joining because you think youw will be too slow! Trust me, the faster runners will enjoy a rest at the top of the hill...
We will aim to mix up the starting locations and if we can get the run leaders lined up we will get a mix of Saturdays and Sundays.
Any questions, just let me know! Cheers, Simon

The course is one lap on firm, flat and wide tracks of compacted earth and gravel. Fast times can be expected. The start is approximately 100m along the track at the east end of the car park. All course turns are marked with direction arrows - if there is no sign you should always stay on the path you are on.
The route goes north for 630m before turning right (signed). Follow this wide track (which swings gradually to the right) ignoring all side turnings for 1560m until the main A412 road is reached at the bottom south east corner of the park. Turn right (signed) and go forward with the main road just outside the park on your left hand side for 550m until reaching a crossing of tracks. Turn right again (signed) and continue on this track for 350m to a fork of tracks. Take the right fork (signed) and continue for another 750m ignoring all side turnings until reaching the next sign. Turn left and continue for 350m to a "T" junction at the heathland area. Here turn left again (signed) and run 400m to the next crossroads. Turn left (signed), then in 250m turn right (signed) for a straight 160m to the finish line.
