We are awaiting the website for the 2010 event to be published but the dates have been confirmed as 7-15th of August. The event takes place in the French Alps with 12 races over the period of 9 days. The event is a series of races held at 4 different villages in the high Alps, from each location you will run 4 races, sometimes 2 a day and some will be in the dark, bring a headtorch. There are mass starts of up to 100 runners and dogs, handicap chases and relays to be run. You will find yourself running up and down the pistes of the Alps without skis or snow, crossing streams, races cover 3 to 8kms and cover some serious up and down hills. In 2008 one race climbed the height of Snowdon and finished at a cable car station, where you then returned to the start with your dog in the cable car.

Humanrace, WildMan 6km, 10km or 16km, Hankley Common, Surrey

Website: www.humanrace.co.uk/

The WildMan is the first stop for the off road series and certainly is not for the faint hearted.

The course is set in an epic tree lined forest, but don’t be fooled, the trails and tracks are made up of sand and this will hinder even the hardiest of athletes.

You can choose either the 6, 10 or 16k trail Run depending on how much stamina and dedication you have in the tank! The run, although easier than the MudMan, will encompass steep inclines along “a ridge too far”, and will be a series of laps depending on your chosen distance.

The off road run will comprise of a 10km dirty trail run through forests and gullies, ensuring this race will not ensure you a PB but guaranteed adrenaline fuelled fun and sense of achievement.
