In short: Great route, good atmosphere, and goodies are worth the pain
In full: The mixture of a very serious course with "loopy" (well "loopy" looking at least) runners made this race special.

In short: Best running event I have ever taken part in!
In full: Fantastic way to start the year. Amazing atmosphere, with most people in fancy dress (including thongs, knight of ni, landed gentry etc). Slowest runners start first and lot of people walking up the hills, so wasn't left behind, as I thought I might be.
Great post race goodies - proper winter running top with all competitors names on, fleecy hat, soup, sandwiches, carrots, beer.
Loads of free photos available, as well as professional ones.
