In short: dirty wet and hilly... oh and super muddy!!!
In full: This was my first hellrunnner!!I loved it!! It was actually easier than I was expecting!(although I was nowhere near the front, but maybe I'm fitter than I thought?)
Well organised race, no problems, friendly and encouraging marshalls, great goodybag.. good value for money... the water and the bog was hysterically ridiculous but very funny!!!I actually couldn't feel my body from the neck down. I would do this again definately with a big group of buddies.
Well done, great raceand lots of mud!!!
Perfect race for off road runners!!! loved it

In short: Ridiculously difficult but worth it...just! Still got mud in places it really ought not!
In full: This is my 3rd year doing Hellrunner and this year's organisation was the worst yet! The race itself was tougher this year, more hills, more mud and longer! All good fun but let down by being so poorly organised. The queue for the goody bags was disproportionately long (why not fill the bags before everyone's finished!), especially in the cold. No showers, or even a hose down at the end is a major let down. Also really expensive compared to other local races. Having said all that it was great fun and not to be missed if you're slightly wrong in the head!

In short: Difficult but very very enjoyable. Great scenery.
In full: Overall organisation was good, testing course but not as hard as some other Hellrunner events by the sound of it.

In short: Lots of fun..but course could have been better marked...
In full: ..especially about 2 miles from finish where I & others went the wrong direction!!! Overall super fun but please make it more hellish for next year!? Disappointing that the Little Devils run wasn't better supported: my two girls loved it so come on fellow runners bring your kids next year..
