Tackle the Grizzly along Devon’s coast. It’s a monster of a trail race
DEVON
THE GRIZZLY
It’s probably the toughest 20-mile trail race you can find in the south of England, with stunning views contrasting with brutal hills, both up and down. Tina Chantrey put her winter training to the test
I’d say you really get your money’s worth with the Grizzly. Held at the beginning of March every year, it’s always a big ask, even if the weather in the lead-up to race day hasn’t been too Baltic. This year, the course wasn’t as muddy as previous years, and yet the bog sections were large, deep and wielded the power to eat your trainers. Yes, runners really do lose their shoes in the knee-deep bog never to be found again but luckily, spare ones are on offer from marshals. In 2020, the final times of runners were seven hours for the 20-mile race, and 3 hours 30mins for the shorter nine-mile Cub race. From those, you can tell this is not an easy Sunday long run.
