A hot and humid Thursday evening made for sticky conditions as 17 Weston Athletic Club members took on the Burrington Blaster - a five mile off-road race from Burrington Combe to the top of Beacon Batch and back again, with 1,000 feet of climb along the way.

Chris McMillan remains at the top of his game, and finished second overall on the night with a new course best time of 31.58 - a time that most runners would be proud of for a flat five mile race, let alone a hilly one.

Please extend a warm welcome to new club members Lucy Dudbridge and Sam Woolham.

Entry to the 2017 Mendip Muddle is now open. Enter before 1 September for an early bird price of £13

The Mendip Muddle is our toughest race. Held over 20km (12 miles) of the finest Mendip Hills, the course is hilly (there’s 420m of climb) and set in some of the finest scenery in the West Country. There are Roman lead mines, underground rivers, a nature reserve, open moorland, potholes, an ancient rabbit warren, an Iron Age fort and prehistoric tumuli. You will run past Velvet Bottom, Rhino Rift, Beacon Batch, Twin Brooks, Dolebury, Rowberrow Bottom, Tyning's, Black Down and Rains Batch. All but 2km of the course is off road and it can get a little boggy in places so make sure you bring your off road shoes.

This years race will be held on Sunday 8 October at 11:00am, at the usual location of Charterhouse Centre, Nr Blagdon, Bristol, BS40 7XR (Between Cheddar and Blagdon in North Somerset: OS grid reference 502558). Registration will be from 9:30am to 10:40am.
