In short: Thanks for another great Wyre Forest 8
In full: Back to the old course, so slightly shorter this year than it has been for the last 3 years. It made the return seem a bit better! Quite muddy along by the river, generally a great run with very supportive marshals - thanks for the encouragement.

In short: A gloriously muddy romp through the wonderful Wyre Forest
In full: A very enjoyable race with a good turnout even in the inclement weather.
The hills and mud were hellacious and really challenged me, but the more seasoned seemed to bound up them!
Anyway, a great run and a fab way to spend a Sunday morning.

In short: Great muddy fun!
In full: Very well organised race, hard work though after the nice start, great friendly marshalls, muddy & wet but who cares when theres a mars bar waiting at the finish!

In short: Thanks again Amazing Feet - another great run.
In full: This is one of the best runs in the year anyway, but the snow just made it even better. It is hard, but I really enjoyed it again and my time was about the same as last year, so I can't complain! I even got back in time for a Mars Bar this year (I see that I moaned that I did not get one last year!)

In short: Beautiful snowy race!
In full: I loved this race and the snow really added to the picturesque course. Lots of hills so not much chance of a PB but a good opportunity for some hill training for the looming Prague marathon! Lots of encouragement from marshals. Only downside was the the goody bags ran out just as I crossed the line - no mars bar for me!!

In short: ++Snowy Hilly extravaganza, well organised and very enjoyable!++
In full: This was my first ever Trail race. And by goodness I was glad that I'd put the training in as I dont think this was for the faint hearted! Definitely a trail shoe race through the snow, water and mud!
Well organised start and finish lines, friendly marshalls and cool blokes on bikes?!
Even a water stop half way round.
I really enjoyed this race and echieved a half decent time and would like to thank Amazing Feet for making my first (not the last) Trail experience so enjoyable and TOUGH!!
Really well done!
