Description

Join us this Tuesday for a truly legendary session forged in the ancient, slightly unbelievable history of the Delamere Spartans.

Long ago—around 753 B.C. give or take—a secret battalion of Spartan warriors set out on a mission to conquer the outer trails of Earth, finally reaching the hallowed ground of  Delamere Forest. These fearless runners were armed with nothing but grit, sandals, and protein figs.

But danger lurked. From the depths of Blakemere Moss emerged the dreaded Persian Land Sharks—air-breathing predators with poor eyesight but an impeccable sense of pace. A galactic alliance was quickly formed between the Spartans and a visiting crew of cardio-obsessed aliens, resulting in the Great Delamere Fartlek Treaty of 745 B.C.

In honour of this bonkers bit of completely made-up history, this week’s session will feature:

  • 🚀 Blast off (over Old Pale)

  • 🦈 Shark Weaves (flowing downhill single track)

  • 🪐 Martian Recovery Zones (plenty of oxygen… maybe)

Bring courage, and a healthy sense of disbelief.

💥 Mythology meets mileage. Are you Spartan enough?
