In short: My favourite event of the year.
In full: Leave your watch at home, leave your best kit at home, prepare to get muddier than a naturally muddy thing having an extra muddy day in mudsville. Great fun, the best reason for being a runner.

In short: what a hoot!
In full: never an easy race, but loads of smiles as you plunge through mud, water and cowsh*t and up and down hills.

In short: Definitely an experience to be done at least once!
In full: Hilarious and hard in equal measures! Enjoyed the atmosphere and the glorious views and even waiting at the ditch meant there was time to chat to others around you! Want to be a better runner before attempting this again!

In short: A glorious romp in the mud
In full: First time at Sodbury and what a slog! There seemed to be a new twist to get you round every corner from ankle deep slurry, to knee deep muddy channels, hay bales to clamber over, steep banks up and down, boggy undulations, steep steps up an underpass. What fun on a glorious day. Congratulations to all!

In short: hilarious,most fun we,ve had for ages
In full: we absolutely loved this race,it was such good fun and we had some really hilarious moments,sliding down mudbanks on our bottoms etc.the only tiny complaint would be the half hour logjam at the stile.everybody was so friendly there was a much better atmosphere than at the half marathons and other races we have competed in,we will be back thank you so much bitton road runners i am going to look for more offroad races,they are harder but in a different way i prefer them i have decided
