We don't know how it happened either…
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...
(Editor's note: Chris Ince's original title for this article was 'The Worst Runner in Surrey, but still better than Richard McDowell'. I thought this was a bit out of order as neither of them are Surrey's fault). -- Exec Summary I've written this partly in the style of a report for work, which is nice....

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...
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...
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...
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...
