6 Miles Multi Terrain. 750ft Elevation.
Canicross start: 11am. Runners start: 11.15am
Sunday 4th December 2022.
The Howling Bull Run is a 6 mile, mainly off-road running event, first run in November 2015. Starting at Walford Village Hall, it climbs up Bulls Hill along the beautiful Wye Valley Walk, then loops around the woodland footpaths on Leys Hill and Howle Hill.
To make things more interesting there is a 'route option' at about 5 miles - You can choose the shorter and steeper 'Howler' route (at your own risk!) or play safe with the more runnable 'Bulls route'. The choice is yours!
There is even a small section of tarmac for the road runners..
£11 Affiliated club runners / £13 unaffiliated runners.
Venue: Walford Village Hall, Walford Road. HR9 5QS.
Parking will be a 4-5 mins walk, in St Michaels church field.
Toilets, Drinks and Bag drop area all available on site.
Free tea, coffee and lots of cake for the runners after the race.
Canicross runners and dogs very welcome.
TRANSFERS. Please let me have name, DOB and club (if any) of new runner if you want to transfer. Email info to: howlingbullrun@gmail.com . I would prefer if you could email a few days before event, but will do on the day transfers if necessary. I do not want any runners to run under a different name - it breaks the insurance criteria and not good if any accidents occur! Thanks
Lots of prizes to be awarded and hand crafted wooden medals awarded to all.
Min age 16. It will be hilly and muddy - Please wear trail shoes / grippy daps!
