We don't know how it happened either…
There's been a reshuffle here at BBRC HQ, with some familiar faces in new roles, some doing the same old nonsense and some fresh new faces that will no doubt start to look much more jaded over the coming months. Feel free to contact any of us via the Facebook group with queries, sarcasm or...
BBRC and BBR had a jolly lovely time (as usual) at the National Running Show in Birmingham in January 2023. As always the quality of the guests on stage was insane with Damian Hall talking it up fresh from winning The Spine, the fabulous Gary Robbins trying his best NOT to talk about Barkley, Sally...
...an féidir liom dul go dtí an leithreas? Races were a little slower to recommence on the Emerald Isle, so I was mega excited when Gillian Shorter suggested doing this event. I've had the pleasure of Gillian's virtual company for more than a year. I met her through BBRC, and meeting up for a race was...
BBRC's resident tortoise persecutor Richard McDowell paints a grim picture of 2022's Country to Capital <disclaimer> I originally wrote this for Ultrarunner Magazine, but edited it a little bit for here </disclaimer> (Ed - 🙄) Country to Capital is one of those classic ultra races that you have heard of, or know someone who has run it. I entered...
A Feat on Feet Our very own Laurence Baldwin apparently did some sort of race. He kept it very quiet and he didn't tell us anything about it. He didn't do a BBRC Facebook Live with Lorna, which you absolutely cannot find by clicking on the (admittedly joyful) image below: Laurence has kindly given us...

Brief summary: Members: Target for end of 2022 is to get to...
Another entirely non-running related BBRC Book Club must-have The reviews alone confirm that this book is the perfect literary companion for BBRC: 'Witty and intriguing title: A+, Living up to the title: C-' 'The characters are unlikable, the 'drunk' jokes are overused and tiring. The story itself is just stupid. Having said all that, it was still...
James Robinson's SVN Orc Rampage Whilst I have been a member of BBRC since the start of the year, my running was limited to anything up to a half-marathon (and sports involving cheat-machines or combining cheat-machines with running and very occasionally swimming). It was time to try something a bit longer (well at least for me)....
BBRC's Yorkshire and Humber Correspondent rep Mick Fenwick takes us up t'North “Anyone want a place in the August Hardmoors 55?” said the post in May 2021. “Three months to go,” I thought. I had been training for the recently cancelled Lyke Wake Challenge and I would now have more time to get even fitter!...
In May's edition, we featured Nikki's mission to complete 100 marathons in 100 days. Anyone following Nikki's adventure will know that things didn't go according to plan. Nikki has very kindly given us a Badger exclusive update on what went on. May 1st started off well at Colwick Park, Nottingham. I was only 15 minutes late...
