Sunday the 18th of May was when it all began. Turbo X unleashed the grueling 10 mile course packed full with the wettest, baddest and grittiest terrain Saab Salomon and 209 could find!

"Best off road race I've done for years! Lots of lovely trails through the woods and then the mud, mud, glorious mud! Well done to 2:09 and a goody bags with stuff I will actually use, drink and eat! Worth every penny." - Runner's World Forum 23rd May 08

"The sand course, hills and swamps were quite special. Will I be back......you bet, not going to miss a single Turbo X race now!" - Runner's World Forum 19th May 08

"If you’re bored with road running and looking for something to perk up your running, try this race. It is so different to any experience a road run could give you. Go for a time if you must, but there is such comaradie amongst the runners, trip/fall/sink and loads will help and laugh with you. The scenery is beautiful (if you have the guts to take your eyes off the path) you have to think all the way around, no need for iPods to keep you motivated. You get dirty, you fall, you laugh, you chat, you just enjoy. Do it at least once, but be careful, like me you may want more!" - Runner's World Forum 20th May 08

Start Time

The race begins at 10 am sharp. Don’t be late and miss your chance to be the TURBO X winner- make sure you arrive in plenty time, geared up and ready to take on the trail and the X Zone! We recommend that you get there at least an hour pre start time to collect your chip and get yourself prepared...

Catering/Refreshments

On site you’ll be fed and watered pre and post trail run from our specially selected local catering company offering hot and cold drinks and burgers and bacon butties. They’ll be on hand to feed you up and get you back to full strength!

Toilets

Plenty of toilets. But don’t forget the extra toilet paper in your kit bag – just in case! Please do not use the surrounding bushes!

Bag Storage

We recommend you leave all valuables in your locked cars as parking is right beside the Race Village and the start/finish area. Alternatively, you can leave bags at the registration tent but this is AT YOUR OWN RISK as the area will not be supervised.

Retailers

We have a great selection of retailers ready with tentfuls of stock to meet your every running need!
Bordon is the host to Up and Running, visit www.upandrunning.co.uk to see your nearest store.
