Robinson on the Rampage
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)....
Come And Have A Go If You Think You’re Hardmoor Enough
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!...
Love Hurts
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...
A Year In The Making, FKT For The Taking…?
Richard Reynolds takes on the Greensand Ridge Walk Over a year ago - when FKTs were becoming a thing I spotted the route that no one else had claimed - the 64km (40mile) Greensand Ridge Walk. Annoyingly, 12 months on I've finally managed to get out onto the Greensand Ridge Walk - but not before two...
A lesson in timed poos
BBRC's resident fecalpheliac Ross Hay's account of his 'backyard movements'.... The 25th June saw me at the starting line of my first Backyard Ultra at Witikon in Zurich. I had totally nailed the preparation for this; a good training block, permanent marker on my arm with differing pace times to complete each loop, ziplock bags...
There’s No Place Like Holmes
David Holmes gives us the low-down on his GB Ultra Scotland 50 The first race for 15 months after all the COVID delays was an interesting one which I began with some trepidation after very little training since the pandemic started….the occasional decent plod around the Pentlands but not a 50 miler. The race was...
Run to the Sea – Get some FYBs
Epic BBRC member and stalwart club challenge participant Lorraine Cromwell recently completed her first ultra with the 50k Race to the Sea. It sounds like there was some auditory Do-Badder support along the way Congratulations Lorraine - a big BBRC smile on your face as always.

Queen Run
We are not the champions Our last Club Challenge for April made it temporarily acceptable to come out and say "I want to ride my bicycle". Yes, the hotly anticipated Queen Run saw Do-Badders performing acts of madness, ticking off references to Queen during a run. The brief: - Find / do as many...
