I haven't run a XO race for years! Evening races can be tricky for me in terms of childcare but as it was Christmas I made an exception. These races are awesomely exciting and it was totally worth it! From the XO website:
XO Races are intimate events designed to challenge entrants physically and mentally; encouraging teamwork, strategy and exploration. We won't ask you to take 2 weeks away from life, part with huge sums of cash or have built your own canoe out of quinoa; this is accessible and achievable adventure.
And it's true! This is an amazingly fun, accessible adventure!
Huge thanks to Charlie and the whole XO team for an incredible evening. Thanks to my teammate Neil for such a fun Christmassy race. I can't recommend XO Races highly enough.
Happy running and Happy Christmas!
