For those of you who like your trail running Feats to be BIG, we give to you the Classic Element Series. Four trail running events based on the 4 classic elements….Air, Fire, Water and Earth. Whether it’s running under never-ending sky (Air), battling over ancient rugged coastline (Water), Pushing yourself on under a relentless sun (Fire) or clawing over muddy hills and rainy valleys (Earth), BigFeat Events have developed a series of races that will Challenge you, Awaken you and Inspire you.

The 3rd event in The Classic Element Series is BigHeat. Symbolising the element Fire, we have designed 2 scorching single lap trail runs that will take you along the winding dusty tracks and through the sun baked forests and open sandy plains of Thursley & Hankley Commons. You’ll have a choice of Marathon or 16 mile distances, each starting and finishing at The Royal School in Haslemere., and taking in the very best of the Surrey countryside!

As weather is changeable, runners are also advised to wear (and carry) appropriate clothing for the conditions.
