The Bog & Bryn 13-mile off-road race took place in Cwmbran today and saw 133 runners get stinking dirty and soaking wet.
Watch this YouTube video of the race director Daryll Barnby followed by some clips I took around the course. Thanks to the lovely volunteers and the ‘last place’ sweeper runner who kept me company for the last few miles 🙂
