Welcome to the GRIM Challenge.
For nearly 20 years the GRIM Challenge has been a benchmark for 'adventure' running, an inclusive type of wet, muddy trail racing that is as much fun as it is challenging.
The original race, now called 'GRIM Down South', is run in the winter over army vehicle testing ground in Aldershot and is known for thick glutinous mud, waist-high water and bone chilling conditions. Read on for more details.

PARKING
This year there are TWO car parks. Both Car Parks can be accessed from Fleet Road, Aldershot. Car park 1 is near the main site entrance, Car Park 2 is near Rushmoor Arena. Both have hard standing areas to park on. If you are using Car Park 1 please stay off the grass and use only the tarmac areas. Marshals will direct you when you arrive.

Car Park 2 Entrance: ///cabin.crops.linen
Please follow marshal directions when you arrive.
There are plenty of parking spaces available at the site. Please note that that both car parks are 5-10 minutes walk from the start village. There is only one entrance and exit to each car park so there might be some short queues when you entering and exiting the site.
