In short: Unbelievably tough - but equally rewarding
In full: Orders of magnitude more challenging than any other race I have done - gradient playback on my Garmin quite horrifying afterwards. But what a sense of achievement afterwards! Fabulous cameraderie from the other runners and generous support to all from their friends-and-relations and the official helpers.

In short: One of the best organised road races on the calendar.
In full: Tough challenge but a great day out on the moors - great marshalls and organisation and being on a Saturday a great evening can be had socialising.Any beer drinkers need to try "Jail Ale" - brewed in Princetown !

In short: Enjoyed it from the start to the finish. One for my race calendar.
In full: Great support from the marshalls and public along the way. I particularly liked the way the marshalls personalised their encouragement (they matched runners numbers against names on the entry list). I knew it would be hilly but was still surprised by the steepness of some of them. The weather was perfect - guess it would have been a real struggle in the wind and rain that had been forecast. Thanks very much to the organisers and helpers.
