When: 21st March, 2009
Where: Box Hill, Dorking, Surrey
Details: The Ballbuster race takes you over Box Hill, near Dorking in Surrey, a total of 5 times with each loop being 8 miles long; 2 on foot and 3 in the saddle. It is a severe test of stamina and should not be taken lightly. It is the equivalent to running a marathon and should be treated with the utmost respect. Many fail each year!

When: 7th March, 2009
Where: An army training ground to the east of Camberley (between the M3 and the A30)
Details: The Mudman is a combination of not only an off-road running race, but also an off-road duathlon - run, bike, run. Both will be a test of strength and stamina. Don’t be fooled by the distances, this will hurt!
Based out in the Surrey hills at Camberley, the MudMan begins with a tough 7.5km dirty trail run. This is not a race for PB’s… you will be slow.
The duathlon will follow the run for the initial 7.5k and then challenge you with a 15k mountain bike section followed by a further 7.5k run. Both the bike and run courses will be held in challenging, stoney conditions. You and your bike should be fully serviced and in tip top condition!
This is a No Frills race with the emphasis on FUN and PAIN. The event is for those that want to challenge themselves, and also for those that just want to survive.
