We return to Usk in March 2010 for another exciting Military 5k and 10k series. The course is tough, challenging but loads of fun. Trees, hills, mud, water, obstacles... a recipe for guaranteed excitment. You don't have to be a BMF member to take part, and if you feel the 10k course may be a little out of reach, perhaps sign up for the 5k instead.


The Venue
The entire route is designed on a private 4x4 driving property. The property includes an airfield and a Military Tank Driving School. Yes - you read right! As a civilian, you can learn to drive a real Military Army Tank. For further information on the landowners tank driving school, please visit his homepage by clocking his logo below.

On event day, you will have access to portable toilets, changing and storage facilities. The venue is located approximately 30 minutes drive from Cardiff city.
