In short: Muddy and challenging
In full: Bit mystified by the comment complaining about mud as the organisers positively crow about it.
A fun route that was a little crowded at the start and tricky to overtake in parts of the woods. Definitely not a PB race.

In short: Disgraceful!
In full: In my opinion this "race" should have been cancelled due to the extreme, muddy and at times very dangerous conditions. This race was completely mis-represented on the organisers website and I strongly advise that you don't compete in this if this is your first 10km race ever or if you are using this race as part of your half/marathan training plan. The mars bar received at the end didn't make up for this poor, poor race. Finally, signs should have been put up on the campus to help direct people to the correct area.

In short: im trying to work out if this is the best race ive ever done or the worse
In full: im trying to work out if this is the best race ive ever done or the worse the route was over very boggy ground , razor sharp rocks and brambles across the path(sacerteurs the night before would of been good marshalls) the fences styles and single paths meant you could only go as fast as the man infront, but it worked- we knew it was winter , the conditions would be cold and damp people were very upbeat about the course the goody bag was ok a shopping bag and choccie bar see you next year

In full: I love the Skyline 10K. The course has been changed since the first one in November and I prefer it, its much more muddy and fun. There was a great atmosphere and everyone is made welcome and also recognized for their own running abilities. Relish the run have done a fantastic job with the Skyline 10k and Dyrham Park 10k. The goodie bags are fab too, and Jelly beans and fresh orange slices are always available at the end of the race too. As this is a series of four races you get the chance to workout the course and improve on your last run. I highly recommend that you give the Skyline 10K ago. :)

In short: A true crosscountry 10 km with plenty of mud
In full: True off road course with lots of mud. Nice day out and looking forward to the next race in the series by which time will definitely have off road shoes which are a must!
