Our little speed demon Danny Faulkner took on this new setting for this infamous run series. Set in Bourne Woods, near Farnham in Surrey, this beautiful area is so picture perfect that’s is used for filming movies upto 6 months of the year. It has been used to shoot such blockbusters as Gladiator, Harry Potter, Wonder Woman, War Horse and Robin Hood.
The distance might seem a bit short for our adept marathoner, but this is no walk in the park. It is brutal by name and brutal by nature. A predominantly coniferous woodland, this single lap course begins by taking the runners through an RSPB nature reserve, lulling them into a false sense of security before embarking on relentless, sharp elevations and lots of mud.
“It was absurdly hilly and reasonably muddy but beautiful woodland trails. I am aching today though!”
Danny ran brilliantly finishing in 49.05 and 29th place overall.
