In full: I thoroughly enjoyed the race as well as the distance. The views were good and the race was excellent value for money. And it was a good race for me and well done to my two mates Ernie who had a injury and his brother who hadnt run a race before for finishing the race.

In short: Great race - well organised, friendly, challenging in parts!
In full: Really enjoyed this. My friends and I were tail-end Charlies and were still made to feel like superstars by the marshalls and other runners. Hills weren't quite as bad as I expected - running through the woods with the sun filtering through the leaves was quite special. Thanks to the exceptionally friendly and supportive marshalls who encouraged us all the way along. Great cakes at the end!! Overall, one of the friendliest races I've done. Well done and thanks to all involved.
