In short: like it says on the tin - Hardest 10k in Britain - but the best!!!!
In full: my second year doing this race, next year will be the 3rd!!!
Much Harder than I remember and life conspired against me meaning I was 4 minutes slower than last year!! although I made it .25 mile longer..
support is brilliant, marshalls excellent, best quality good bag ever. nice touches with the soup, food and carrot.
Wore my hat and top all day long.
First race where I have seen NO MP3 players... tells you everything you need to know..
great costumes, great race..

In short: A Very Special Race. The best start to a New Year!
In full: I enjoyed it so much last year, I came back. I had forgotten how hard the race is but that just added to the satisfaction of completing it. The race goodies are second to none. You will never have a full running experience until you run this race! Deservedly voted best 10k in Britain. Special thanks to the organisers and marshalls who were top rate. See you next year :)

In short: great way to kick off the year
In full: A great event run by an amazing family. Well done Dr Robert and Co.
This was my second time racing. My first was 2008 - which I loved but felt a bit bad as I wasn't dressed up. I was, however, fully fancy-dressed up this time in a toga and laurel wreath. Made it even more fun - despite trickier conditions underfoot and lack of stepping stones - which I'm sure makes it longer?. Did better this year too so maybe I should use the toga for all races...

In short: A must do race - superb
In full: Trained over the course 4 times in december and the effort paid off. If you can run up the second hill you'll do great. Soon as I finished signed up for the munro half in june. Looks like many more days training at the hill. If your thinging of doing it in 2011 - DO IT !!!!!
