grim challenge
Running, wading or crawling an
eight-mile course on an army site
in Aldershot, Hampshire, might not
be everyone’s idea of fun. However,
this event has proved so popular that
this year’s Grim Challenge will run
on two consecutive days, attracting
up to 5,000 people. Participants will
tackle long hills, water-fi lled ravines,
puddle-strewn paths, camoufl age
nets (to crawl under) and man-made
mounds. Individuals or teams of three
can enter, with registration costing
£25 per person. The website lists
numerous charities to raise money for.
