Nobody has reviewed this one yet
No reviews of the MTC Beowulf, and nothing on what people wore. Both are things no organiser publishes and every runner wants before they enter — how it actually went, and what was on your feet.

What you’re in for
Shrewsbury to Kidderminster, 35 miles down the Severn valley past Ironbridge and Bridgnorth, on day six of the England end to end. Shrewsbury to Kidderminster: 58.2km and 617m of climb, with six checkpoints on the way. It is day 6 of the England end to end, and you can run it on its own or as part of the whole. The hilliest English stage: the Severn gorge and the Shropshire hills give it 617m of climb, and the organiser advises trail shoes for a few miles of the JOGLE's equivalent day. Mount to Coast rules apply on the single day as on the series: preset cut-offs based on a minimum 4 mph average, a warning the first time you fall below it, and no one on the course after ten at night. Checkpoints roughly every eight miles, a tracker with an SOS button, and maps and GPX for entrants only — bring a map case.
Terrain and trail
The organiser supplies road shoes for the series, which tells you most of what you need to know about the ground: quiet road, cycle path and the odd stretch of towpath or track, almost all of it hard-surfaced. The difficulty is the distance and the day after, not the terrain.
