In short: Great race, I found it challenging though.
In full: Great race and scenery. Shame about the weather, it took me an hour for me to get the use of my hands back. But it was all fun. The marshalls deserve a pat on the back. I thought I was mad for running it, but standing there for hours takes something special.

In short: Nice day....for ducks!
In full: First time of entering and wasn't disappointed even by the 10minute long cloud burst at 8 miles. Echo everything thats been said. And a BIG BIG thankyou to all the marshalls - I attempted to thank each and every one as I went around as I hope you all did considering the weather. To stand out there in that weather, they deserve a medal too...or even a stiff scotch!

In short: Wet, windy and some hills! But a warm welcome, good atmosphere and friendly marshals
In full: Did this in the wind and rain last year and back again for more. Wet at the start and then half way round, plenty of playful hills on route but this is a fantastic part of the country to come running. Smooth organisation, smiling friendly marshals all the way round and good company. Nice atmosphere. I'll be back again.

In short: Great course with some nice views of the new forest, undulating but the downs make up for the ups. Horrendous weather but will definately make this race memorable, thanks to all the marshalls!

In short: Pain, rubbish weather, and great organisation, must be a Race New Forest event.
In full: As always from the Race New Forest, a well organised friendly event. You can always count on the course being hilly, and downpours. This is sixth event I have competed in organised by RNF and I will continue to.
