About
The GRIM Challenge is one of the original adventure runs, with a history that dates back nearly 20 years. Traditionally it involves plenty of mud and stretches of chest-high water, however, the GRIM brand is extending to a new race concept in 2023. It was going to be called GRIM Hills because there are 8-mile and 4-mile courses that feature a lot of them ... but when you tackle this stunning South Downs course, you'll see it is more than just hills. It's still a GRIM Challenge but take part in this new run and you'll see why it's Beauty & The Beasts.

Very challenging but fun course, well marked, freindly staff look forward to returning next year! Great value for money, maybe a few more obstacles would be the only improvement 😁

Better carparking signs from main rd A272. Alternative parking considerations when very wet muddy field is not drivable. Maybe parking marshalls
