Brutal @ Spider Hill
Brutal @ Spider Hill takes place at Spider Hill in Long Valley on Saturday 21st November. Entries close at 23:59 on Thursday 19th November. Car sharing is available. The event uses an arena reached via an entrance off Bourley Road with a short drive up a track.
The course layout is centred on a single 10 km lap that passes through named features including Alligator Swamp, Swan Lake, the Muddy Mile and Duck Pond. The route goes from a gentle run out into a steep climb, opens into a series of climbs and marshes up to the 5 km point, then proceeds through a cooling marsh, Alligator Swamp, Swan Lake and the Muddy Mile with two steep climb outs. A view is noted around 8 km. The final section includes the Duck Pond, a short very steep uphill, a fast descent and a couple of testing hills before the finish. Mud, water and hills are present throughout.
