Yes, It’s Back! December 27th 2012 at 12:30, Mill End, Chadlington
OX7 3NY
After a break of two years, the Great Brook Run is back. This year’s
event is going to be bigger, better, muddier, funnier, wetter and sexier than
your mum. It’s got running in it, it’s got water in it, it’s got beer in it and
we’ve got a real life official Olympian in it too.
The Great Brook What?
The Great Brook Run is an annual cross-country race held on the 27th of
December which takes place half on land, half in water. Over the frightening
distance of just-over-a-mile, our epic journey departs the picturesque Cotswold
village of Chadlington and within a few hundred yards has thrown down the first
of many darkly challenging challenges as the course challengingly turns 90
degrees to the left to challenge our challengers.
The course throws up many more obstacle as it wends through a quagmire
of distant muddy fields. But the run gets its name not from the muddy bit, but
from the wet bit, the bit that dares our heroes to come all the way home again
in a raging torrent of water that is The Great Brook.
Survivors, for there are some, get to retire to The Tite Inn to warm
their frozen toes by the fire, quaff an ale or two and regale passers by with
stories of derring do and dunkings, all the while admiring their medal dangling
gamely in somebody elses beer.
Want To Take Part?
The race starts from the
Tite Inn, Chadlington, OX7 3NY. All competitors must register and pay a £5
entry fee. Registration is from 11:00 until 12:15 on the 27th December, and the

All proceeds from this year’s race will be going to the Chadlington
Memorial Hall.

mulled wine. The main bar will be open all day as usual and a full à la carte
lunch menu will be served from 13:30 – booking is advisable!
Dress Code
You must be dressed. What you dress in is completely up to you, but
sturdy foot-wear is essential. Don’t wear wellies or a drysuit unless you’re a
masochist.
