THIS IS NOT A CELEBRATION it is a fun run with a theme!

Leavers can if they wish enter the leave race, and the remainers, if they wish, can enter the remain race. Each of the two races are run in opposite directions :-) The race with the most entries then dictates what you get at the finish line. Every finisher gets a themed medal and then depending on the outcome of the 'Referendum Run', you get either a 'Continental Breakfast, or a sausage bap!!

Longmoor Camp- home of the original HellRunner event. Much copied but never equalled. And now wilder and wetter, hillier and hellier than ever. A heady mixture of hills, water features and sand-sapping ascents served ice-cold if you please.

Its tougher than Tough Mudder and grimmer than the Grim. Oh yes. If running was an animal it would be a dog. Lets just say HellRunner is part of the dogs undercarriage. It really is that good!

2000 lost souls will face an epic endurance challenge of 10+ miles laced with theatre, music and pyromania. Naturally devilishly good fun.
