This years race is now open for entries and will be held on on Sunday 14 October at 11:00am, at the usual location of Charterhouse Centre, Nr Blagdon, Bristol.

The Mendip Muddle is our toughest race. Held over 20km (12 miles) of the finest Mendip Hills, the course is hilly (there’s 420m of climb) and set in some of the finest scenery in the West Country. There are Roman lead mines, underground rivers, a nature reserve, open moorland, potholes, an ancient rabbit warren, an Iron Age fort and prehistoric tumuli. You will run past Velvet Bottom, Rhino Rift, Beacon Batch, Twin Brooks, Dolebury, Rowberrow Bottom, Tyning's, Black Down and Rains Batch. All but 2km of the course is off road and it can get a little boggy in places so make sure you bring your off road shoes.

Enter online before 1 September for an early bird price of £13.

Thank you to all club members who have paid club membership and England Athletics affiliation so far! But there's still a few active members who are outstanding. I'd be very grateful if memberships could be completed by the end of May latest. After this date any unpaid EA affiliations will lapse, and importantly, if you are a coach your licence will not be valid. If any one has issues renewing their membership, please message me via the Contacts page.

Please extend a warm welcome to new club member Julie Bryant.

The Fit Fifty track the trails at Tyntesfield while The Fab Four rock Liverpool

All members completed the undulating route across fields and through woodland. First to ascend the driveway for the final sprint along the closing strait was Matt Wheeler in 42.48. Allan Fuller and Phil Tomlinson followed in 43.34 and 44.03 respectively... Read more
