In short: Mud Glorious Mud - Fabulous Fun!
In full: The wonderful scenery, great support and organisation are all on top of the endless supplies of mud, marshes, ditches, hills and more mud! Fantastic fun, great atmosphere and very messy!!

In short: Cracking course and a top run
In full: Rain stayed off and it wasn't that cold so the run was excellent.
Really enjoy the course as always.
Only niggle is the waiting in the freezing cold water in the trough. Guess it's part of it.

In short: The first of many Slogs. A truly great race, superbly organised. Fun, madness, hard, challenging, totally wet, muddy...oh yes! Great people, excellent atmosphere...what more can I say? If you can only do one race next year, this is the one.
In full: Organisation: 10/10

Facilities: 10/10 (showers, baggage storage, shelter, toilets at the start)

Course: 10/10 (had to queue at last water feature! My fault, not fast enough)

Atmosphere: 10/10 (loads of banter and much needed support)

Gizits: 10/10 (goody bag, shirt, jelly beans, drinks)

Value for money: OH YES

You might have guessed, I’m sold on this race!
