In short: As a relative novice to fell/trail runs and marathons alike i feel drawn to this event every year
In full: This year is the second time in successive years that i have run this race and only my second ever marathon! It is the most challenging event i have ever entered and definitely the most enjoyable. I introduced two of my friends to the Yorkshireman this year and they too fell in love with it. With a mixture of beautiful scenery, unpredictable weather and under foot conditions this is an event not to be missed by anybody who feels up to the challenge.

In short: You'll probably already know if you want to do this
In full: It's in Yorkshire! It's a marathon! It's offroad! The title tells you a lot of what you need to know. Strangely enough, they haven't gone out of their way to make it crazyhard. Lots of welcome contouring making up the distance and a real variety of terrain - moorland, rocks, roots, grassland, hardpack trails, cowfields, and a (very little) road. Nice course. A recce/study of the map/knowledgeable person to follow would all help. I don't know what people are complaining about - I've got a new PB for the distance :)

In short: A really challenging and enjoyable event. Made all the better by a great variety of route and conditions. The welcoming stewards, fantastic support and overall friendliness of the day made this a special race.
In full: The best bit for me was the excellent homemade hot food and cakes at the finish. Thank you to Keighley and Craven AC and all their volunteers for making this a great day, I will definately try to do it again next year when my quads recover.
