The Race
The Bimblers Bash 10k is an entirely off-road loop within Westwoods, Guilford made up from a series of interconnecting single track hiking trails. You should expect to negotiate lots of rocks, roots and possibly get your feet wet, plus with two rock scrambles be prepared for an adventure! This is a true trail race and the technical nature of the terrain will mean that you will be exposed to the risk of injury. While every reasonable effort will be made to ensure your safety and enjoyment, runners must be prepared to accept full responsibility for these risks.
The Bash course is rumored to be longer than the advertised distance, is this true? Maybe, but this is the Bash and to us “… the distance isn’t significant …” There are 10k’s and then there is the Bash 10k!
