Just over 3 weeks to go until the all new
BOURNE VALLEY HALF MARATHON.
4th August.
Come and join the fun.

The Bourne Valley Half was a fantastic event that sadly stopped running in the late 1990s but i have heard nothing but great things so it's back. The original route is unfortunately not possible but this stunning mostly road route through the AONB area north of Andover will not disappoint.

So it started raining as we set up our little gazebo village, and we waited in anticipation, not knowing who would turn up. It did not disappoint.
This event is always a small, intimate event.

27 intrepid warriors turned up, not one of them brought the sunshine.

We had a real mix of people. Some had been to us before, so had an idea what they were in for and some who had no idea what to expect. "This is my first backyard", "I don't really run much, but just thought I'd give it a go."

1800hr came and went with the runners in good spirits headed off.

By the 13 hour there were just 2 left. 2 extra loops together and Vic Owens came over the finish line and waited for Nick to join her in the corral but he was a no show.

With Nick timed out on yard 15, Vic Owen was declared the winner of the 2024 Faccombe Backyard Ultra.

Congratulations to everyone who took part and put up with the horrendous, relentless rain.
Congratulations to Cutts for a great assist and a Huge well done to Vic Owens on becoming the 2024 winner.

Next years date to be conformed very soon.

In just over 24 hours, my favourite event of our calendar begins.

The Faccombe Backyard Ultra. We have made some great friends from this event. Being a nice intimate event, we get the opportunity to meet people properly. After a few loops, you are not just a runner with a number on your shorts. Everyone is on first name terms.

Just a nice chilled out event. I can't wait. And we get to camp out, which is always fun, right.

You could probably still join us if you wish. On the day entries could work. Give me a shout.

For those who didn't get a place in the London Marathon.

How about joining And-over Trail Events for an awesome challenge on trails instead. It would be a shame for that training plan to go to waste.

Check out what we have in stall. Something for everyone.

The Pewsey Vale Ultra. 20th 21st july.

So after postponing last year's Pewsey vale ultra, we made a decision. No matter what happens, we are hosting this event this year.

There are around 20 people signed up so far but I believe that these things need to be given the chance to become great events.

So what do you get for your dollar? I hear you ask.
Firstly, you get an absolutely stunning route. Mostly off road in a circular 125km route of thd north wessex Downs.

Free camping from Friday night until Sunday.
Toilets and showers and kitchen facilities available. At the amazing Linkenholt Campsite. This is the start finish location for the event.
4 x checkpoints approx 25km apart, the last 2 checkpoints ane in doors at Marden and Collingbourne ducis village halls. Hot food and drinks will be available at these.
A massive 24 hours to complete the distance.
Medical and safety cover throughout.
Bespoke medal for all finishers and winner prices Male and Female.

So with the halls booked, permits in place and with a month to go until race day, now is the time to sign up.

I have run this route twice and truly believe this to be a future classic ultra marathon.

Come and join the fun.

I think you will agree with me when I say "We have the best crew in the business"

Time and time again, they make these events run so smoothly. Doing all they can to cater for the runners every need. Backmarkers, Medics, checkpoint crew, road crossing marshals, safety vehicles, route planners and route clearers. They really go above and beyond.

A big thanks to.
Mark from Bluekite Creative and
Marie Wilson.

When their photos are ready, I will email them out to everyone.

And thanks to Al and Matt from Timing Monkey for the chip timing for the event.
