BigSea  - Classic Element Trail Series

 

For those of you who like your trail running Feats to be BIG, we give to you the Classic Element Trail Series. Four trail running events based on the 4 classic elements…. Earth, Water, Fire  and Air.

Whether it's clawing over muddy hills and rainy valleys (Earth), battling over an ancient rugged coastline (Water), Pushing on under a relentless sun (Fire) or running under a never-ending sky (Air),  BigFeat Events have developed a series of races that will Challenge you, Awaken you and Inspire you.

INSPIRED BY THE CLASSIC ELEMENT WATER, WE BRING TO YOU…BIGSEA!

As weather is changeable, especially in winter, runners are advised to also wear (and carry) appropriate clothing for the conditions.

We also strongly advise runners to download the GPX file of the route onto a wearable watch or mobile device. Although this is a marked course event, arrows can be tampered with, so a good understanding of the route is advisable.

AID STATIONS

Locations TBC

All Aid Stations are well stocked and will have a selection of sweet and savoury snacks, with vegan options available. Water and flat coke are also provided. Please remember that we are a cupless event company.

 

PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION

We are very proud to have partnered with Precision Fuel & Hydration for our Classic Element Trail Series events.

Each Aid Station will be stocked with PH 1000 electrolyte liquid and assorted snacks/gels.

PH 1000, is a low-cal electrolyte drink designed to help you hit your fluid and sodium numbers. It delivers 1,000mg of sodium per litre, which is about what the average athlete loses per litre of sweat.

A selection of energy products and snacks will sit alongside PH 1000 on-course to help you hit your carb targets. “Decoupling” your fueling and hydration can be beneficial during longer endurance races, as you can adjust each one as needed.

*  Low-cal drink delivering 1000mg of sodium per litre

*  Mild citrus flavour to avoid flavour-fatigue

*  Served pre-mixed
