In short: Boggy
In full: Friendly atmosphere and funny commetary which raised the spirits at end of an unexpectedly muddy and leg zapping run. Worth turning up to see on the first lap a 100 or so people deperately trying to run up hill which I swear they ploughed and watered beforehand. Few fellow runners around me had their shoes inhaled by the mud. For the second weekend running I went home with mud bricks at the end of my legs (did the Wendover Woods the week before). One complaint is that most runners seemed to be doing the 10k which meant on the last lap the runners got strung out. Some of the marshals seemed to disappear or at one point to busy chatting not to see me and another runner disappearing up the wrong track. We got pulled back thankfully by another competitor. Thanks though to the last lady marshal before you hit the carpark out of the woods who was very encouraging! Round 2 here I come.

In short: Muddy and fun!
In full: Good for beginners. Commentary at the end was nice, although the finish is a bit demoralising having to run all the way down the field!

In short: Great race, would definitely do this again
In full: Race was fairly well organised. Route was scenic with challenge of mud hill. Only disappointing factor was that it was shorter than claimed (my forerunner said 14.8km).

In short: Nice event - the muddy slope was great fun - loverd the diving finish
In full: This is my second year and although this year the circuit had been extended it still seemed to be not quite a full 10K. Great commentary at the finish but the water station was a bit of a waste of time - mind you I'll be back in February I think

In short: Very positive experience
In full: At a 60 year old woman this was the first time in my life I'd been in a race. Felt very welcome and encouraged my both co-runners and marshalls alike. Despite a very slow time, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

In short: Muddy and great fun!
In full: Forgot to look at the course map pre-race and misjudged the finnish - having to run past the finnish and run aother 600-700 yds was a bit of a shock!
