In 2015, when the news broke that the king of survival – Bear Grylls – was organising an OCR, fans of the sport went mad. Last year’s race was a great success, but the team at BG are not stopping there.

This year they are rolling out four 5k & 10k events in the UK – in Cambridge, Edinburgh, Manchester and London, with the last venue also offering a gruelling 30km course. The big part of the fun are the BG Survival Challenges scattered around the course, designed to test your strength, agility, targeting, evasion, memory, observation and a variety of other core skills. There will be time penalties for failing the challenges and special rewards for completion. Registration and timing proudly powered by Trumin!
