It is well documented how tough a year 2020 has been for businesses. For TRB, I think we have been relatively lucky. It’s been frustrating, and sometimes a little challenging, but with both Dan and I having full time work out-with the company we’ve not suffered from the downturn like many other business owners have.

Migo Mile for October October landed, and the leaves fell – along with the rain. With the clocks going back, there was some limitations on the amount of daylight hours that would be available to participants of the Virtual Migo Mile for October. This event was run as a virtual event like it was in […]
2020 has, easy to say, been a challenging year for us all. Whilst appreciating the severe hardships and, in some cases tragic events this year had brought to some people, I thought I’d share the somewhat trivial concerns of being a race organiser!

If you’ve ever entered a TRB event, you will know we give our runners plenty options. We know that you’re all individuals, and we want your race entry to reflect you.

On many occasion I read comments and question on social media as other runners seek similar answers: “What’s the best hydration pack?”; “What do people drink when they are running?”; ”How much water should I run with?”; […]
Pendle Way In A Day. It was some day. There was mud à plenty. Hills and inclines seemed more prevalent the descents and downhills. And wind. Wind, no matter what direction you faced it seemed it was a headwind. A constant companion for the 40-odd miles of the way. Now I say “40-odd”, as this […]
Pendle Way In A Day I woke up at Dan’s crib this morning, having had a wee bunk down in Black Betty’s bed. A very comfortable slumber was had. Hope Betty doesn’t mind me stinking it out and leaving half my coat behind in it! Road trip time for some more Lancashire…Whatever the heck that […]
