I love BMF, everyone gets on well; it is more sociable than a gym, especially when you are giving someone a piggy back!

MILITARY 5K & 10K SERIES: October 2010

Do you have what it takes to complete our Military Run?? Our Military Series is tough. All of our courses are wet, muddy and challenging. Along the way you'll find obstacles, ditches, water, mud, trees and plenty of hills! You will get dirty, and your trainers will never look the same again! But all the courses are designed to be fun, and we guarantee you'll finish with a smile on your face!

Our Military 5k and 10k series is now live for entry. Click on the buttons below to find out more about the venues. This link will take you through to our booking website:

Testimonials

"One word - SUPERB. This is the best event I have ever done and really appealed to the child inside. Although we did it at a snails pace as I wanted to do it with my wife I loved every minute of it. A Saturday morning on a 4X4 course up to your waist in mud at places, freezing cold, soaking wet and no showers - absolutely fantastic. It really put the fun back into running and that has been missing for quite some time now." Kev Hall

"The quality of the event and smiling faces on the participants was a testament to the hard work, enthusiasm and dedication of the BMF staff. Well done chaps!" Andy Broadfoot

"Although there were obstacles such as getting stuck in the massive mud puddle and crawling up hills on my hands and knees, crossing the line was enough to ensure I've put my name down for the next one!" Genie Powers

"The race starts off as a gentle jog uphill and then rapidly turns into the mother of all epic battles between your mind and body, much to my disgust on many occasions my body won and I started to walk" Mansukh Nakrani
