Online entries are now open!Aspire Running Events are thrilled to announce that the 2nd Bristol Epic 8 Hour race will be held on Saturday 10th September, 2022.
This can be run solo or in a team of 4, however only one member of the team can be out on the course at any one time.
Sadly, this event is NOT dog friendly.
The route is flat/undulating and 1 lap equates to 3.3 miles.
You are welcome to run as many or little laps as you so wish in the 8 hours of the race. You can take as many rest breaks as you want during the event (although the clock will still be running even if you are not) and you certainly do not have to run for the constant 8 hours unless you want too of course!
Course description: Multi Terrain which incorporates public footpaths, woodlands and open countryside.
After each lap, you will be able to visit the treats table where the usual Aspire goodies will be available to rehydrating/refuelling.
Just 1 lap will ensure you receive the bespoke medal rewarded to all finishers.
So, the choice of distance you wish to cover is up to you: 4 laps = Half Marathon, 8 Laps = Marathon and more than that you are looking at an ultra.
We will be using Fabian4/Racetek Live timing at this event (more details to follow)
