Mud, sweat and tears will be on the menu for anyone brave enough to take on one of the area’s toughest endurance events.
The Banchory Beast Race brings hundreds of competitors to the banks of the picturesque Knockburn Sports Loch each year for the stamina-smashing 10k assault course.
With the event just months away, the official charity Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS) is offering up some limited free places for anyone considering taking part.
The Banchory Beast Race returns on Saturday, September 23 to the banks of the scenic Knockburn Sports Loch near Banchory offering the ultimate 10K obstacle course challenge.
Anyone who manages to secure a place will only be required to raise a minimum of £100 for the charity.
CHSS’s north fundraising manager, Paul Corrigan said: “Last years’ Beast Race was a fantastic day out. It is always a great atmosphere with plenty of laughs, hilarious fancy dress costumes and camaraderie as the brave beast runners take on the obstacles together.
“It certainly doesn’t matter what level of runner you are – it’s all about taking part and enjoying yourself. CHSS is immensely grateful to all the valued runners who support the charity by taking part and raising vital sponsorship – every single penny goes directly to helping people across all our communities who are struggling to live with lung disease, heart disease or the effects of a stroke.”
This year’s race, which is sponsored by Prime Four business park, will offer even more challenges for people to overcome, with 30 new obstacles in total including barbed-wire barriers, bogs and 12ft high walls.
