Description
THE UK’S TOUGHEST 10KM RUN.
Based on an Army basic training exercise called a march and shoot, Rifle Run is a 10km run, if you can shoot straight.
The first and only event of its kind.
Hit the target or face the penalty. Experience the adrenaline of a cross-country running race, combined with the thrill of shooting.
THE CONCEPT
One 10km cross country running course.
Three shooting challenges.
20 targets for you to hit in total.
These are a mixture of air-rifle or shotgun.
For every shot you miss, you face a 250m penalty lap.
Hit 20/20 and run 10km.
Hit 0/20 and run 15km.
Hit 15 or more shots and you reach ‘marksman’ status.
