We don't know how it happened either…
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...

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...
Nikki Love is a BBRC club member and certified Do-Badder, so much so that she has her own podcast episode about running around Ireland (yes, there's a podcast 🙄, and it's ep. 174) and in the last few days she has kicked off another immense challenge: 100 marathons in 100 days. Nikki has a message...
The BBRC was well represented at the Centurion Running South Down's Way 50 on 17th April. Richard McDowell, Nik Barter, Melanie McKay (in absentia) Jo & James Robinson, and Dimi & Andrew Booth kindly gave up their time to chat to Lorna about their experiences of the race.

On Saturday 24th April, BBRC club member "Magic" Mike Bisson completed the Centurion Track 100 in a new PB of 14:43:03 which is absolutely phenomenal after all he went through during the race.
