The run is on a variety of terrain and conditions from rolling grassland (well a little bit anyway) to mud, wet mud and sticky mud. The course includes hills, waterfilled pits, muddy banks and did we mention mud. You will get very wet!   20km of off road mountain biking around the estate and edges of the Malvern Hills, a good mix of open tracks, paths and singletrack.   a cheeky 3km run around the castle lake and maybe a little stream to finish.   <a href="http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/">Help For Heroes</a>   It's about 'the blokes': those men and women of our Armed Forces who have been wounded in the service of our country since 9/11.   H4H provides direct, practical support for our wounded.
