Brutal - Spider Hill *The Brian Pilling Memorial Race*

Saturday 26th November

**Entry on the day available from 0830 - 5K £30 / 10K £35**

Spider Hill at Long Valley is yet another great challenging route and is back for 2022! A single 10K lap route including Alligator Swamp, Swan Lake, Muddy Mile and Duck Pond. This is our wettest Brutal race and a favourite amongst our regular Brutaleers!

For 2022 we are adding a 5K route option for the first time. This will be a shortened version of the main 10K route. You will still get the mud, water and hills, just in a smaller dose!
As you will probably know we very sadly lost a great friend to Brutal recently. Brianwas an incredibly loyal member of the Brutal team and we want the Spider Hill event to become a memorial event in his honour. If you have run only a few Brutal races you will know Brian's face, his enthusiastic encouragement and the regular offer of a jelly baby or two.

Brian was a retired soldier, a member of 7 Para Royal Horse Artillery based in Aldershot, where he served for 28 years. The Spider Hill route is very appropriate as the route uses the grueling hills that Brian would have been "beasted" up and down during his parachute company selection.
 
Brian's family have selected the Airborne Gunner Trust as their chosen charity and we are very pleased that they will be at the event on Saturday 26 Nov. If you would like to donate, please see the link below.

The route has a gentle run out to a steep climb, before heading up and out into the open through a series of climbs and a couple of marshes, to the 5km point. Then heading for the wet and into the first cooling marsh, through that and in quick succession it’s into Alligator Swamp, followed by Swan Lake. Drop down onto the Muddy Mile with two steep climb outs, there is a view for many miles at the 8km point. Next heading for the Duck Pond and a wee bit more wet, onto a very steep short uphill followed by a fast descent and onto another couple of testing hills before heading back to the finish.
