Salomon Trails
Dr Emma Meaburn and her friend and colleague, Natasha Kirkham took part in the Turbo X Trail run in November 2010. The maddest, muddiest run of the Salomon Trail Running Series. 10 miles of the gnarliest mix of mud, sweat and trail to satisfy the most hardcore of off road runners! The infamour natural assault course of water, sand, marsh and muck has a hidden twist… the X Zone - a 1 to 2 miles section of the craziest terrain to push your stamina, agility and perseverance to the limit. You will wade through watery wildness, clamber through mud, sand and bog - charging your way through the roughest off road track you can imagine!
Both Emma and Natasha are involved in autism research at the School of Psychology, Birkbeck University of London.
After the race, Emma said:
"I don't think I can do justice to the sheer craziness of the race. I have never seen (or smelt!) mud like it. At one stage we had to swim (!) across a ravine, and I also got stuck in the mud and had to be hauled out by a burly man in army fatigues.It truly was a great day out! There was quite a lot of swearing though!".
I'd happily recommend it to people.
