Brutal @ Bagshot

Event overview

Brutal @ Bagshot takes place at Bagshot on Saturday 24th January as the organiser's first event of the 2026 race calendar. The course uses the Army Alpine Driving Training circuit and features hills and water hazards. The route starts on a flat section followed by wet downhill and several climbs of varying lengths. Runners encounter a bog before 3 km, twisting and turning hills, a zigzag section, knee- to waist-deep water holes in the final kilometre of each lap, and a large puddle in the arena. The 10 km option uses two laps of the same circuit.
