The Asics Off Road Series is in full swing... The Asics Off Road Race Series is well underway with three events having taken place and two to go in the next few weeks. Next up is TuffMan this very weekend, and its still not too late to sign up! Every event in the series features an off road duathlon and a trail run meaning there is something for everyone looking to get fit this winter. After TuffMan on 4th February comes TrailMan, the new addition on 10th March. TrailMan takes place in the stunning location of Eridge Park close to Royal Tunbridge Wells and takes competitors on undulating trails and tracks through beautiful scenery - though they will mostly be preoccupied with the hills and mud rather than their beautiful surroundings!
