Virtual Race 'Roundhog' Day

Every year on February 2nd a small town in Northern America celebrates Groundhog day, the celebration derives from an old German tale about a Groundhog poking its head up from Winter Hibernation and if he can see his shadow believing spring to be on the way.
Ironically over the last year most of the world has lived their own version of Groundhog day, staying at home, reducing social contacts and seemingly living the same day 'over' and 'over' again.
Well here at Grim we thought it would be fun to capture the last 'crazy' year with our own version of Groundhog day, which for all you Grimmer's will now be know with the new catchy title ' ROUNDHOG DAY.'
ROUNDHOG DAY will be celebrated our own date of the 28th March the day will symbolise the end of our first year of living with a pandemic living through Lockdown(s), the end of Winter and the start of British Summer time .
On this day ( 28th March) participants will lace up their trainers, put on their running bibs and run a 'circular'
route of your choice. You can choose the distance and you can choose the number of laps but round it must at some point have your running in a circle.
Given the challenges we have all faced since Christmas it would be wonderful to see lots of Grimmer's running ROUND the tracks, trails and roads showing the world that whilst a challenge might have come our way we are strong positive and looking forward,

To compete in this event runners must complete their race on March the 28th, a running bib will be sent to all participants. Medals will be dispatched within 2 weeks of the event.
