Race Report: Adidas 24h Thunder Run 27/07/2013

Here is my race report for the Adidas thunder Run, a 24 hour event I ran on the weekend of July 27th/28th this year. My expectations had been tainted by the postponement of it's sister run, the 12 hour Lightning Run earlier in the year but it turned out to be a terrific event and one I would not hesitate to recommend.



During the event I shot a fair bit of video footage on my phone. I tried to cut down the finished video as much as I could, but I still wanted to preserve the essence of what a 24 hour race feels like. So here you have it, 20 minutes (-ish) of running round a large field...

Entries for the 2014 event open on 15th October, you can watch the trailer for it here...



 
I'd love to return next year, perhaps as a club camping weekend? The option to run as a solo, or in teams of varying numbers make it accessible for any runner.
