A group of 15 brave John Kyrle Gym and Everybody Fitness class members took it on themselves to compete in the Mud Runner Classic at Eastnor Castle on Sunday, October 19th.

Gavin Jones, the gym manager told the Ross Gazette:?"Six months ago Shelley Gwilliam and I decided we needed to organise a challenge, after all having a race, or goal, in mind helps keeps you focused and motivated to train, so we chose the Mud Runner, possibly the toughest cross country in Herefordshire."

The Race started at 11am and due to wet weather the course was in a challenging condition. Keeping in mind that this is the course that Land Rover use for testing their all-terrain vehicles, it was never going to be a flat, fast course.
