Brutal @ Spider Hill
Brutal @ Spider Hill is a trail event at Spider Hill in Long Valley featuring muddy, wet terrain with marshes and open climbs. The main course is a single lap 10 km route that passes Alligator Swamp, Swan Lake, the Muddy Mile and Duck Pond. A 5 km option, introduced in 2022, is a shortened version of the 10 km course and retains mud, water and hills.
The route layout includes a gentle run out to a steep climb, then a sequence of climbs and marshes to the 5 km point. After that the course goes through a cooling marsh, Alligator Swamp and Swan Lake, drops onto the Muddy Mile with two steep climb outs, offers a wide view near the 8 km mark, then passes the Duck Pond and finishes with a short steep uphill, a fast descent and a couple more hills before the arena.
Course options:
- 5 km - shortened version of the 10 km course.
- 10 km - single lap 10 km course with mixed terrain.
Entry information notes early bird and standard fee levels for senior and junior categories, and minimum ages: 5 km minimum age 10, 10 km minimum age 13, juniors defined as under 18 on race day.
