In short: superb
In full: amazing organisation - and off road races are difficult. and a full, half and relay all together could be a mess but worked brilliantly. as did bus and baggage transfers, well done to the organisers

In short: Tough, tough race; but fantastic organisation and wonderful course
In full: I did the 1/2 and my wife did the relay with 3 other Winchester runners. Great day out and a real challenge. Can't wait for next year! You guys who do the full marathon on this course have my respect, don't know how you do it!

In short: Can't stop comming back!
In full: I've run this event every year since I started running. First with the relay, and the 1/2 for the last three years. I just love this event. Great atmosphere, friendly marshalls, and (usually) plenty of mud, although it was dry this year.
One day, I'll have a crack at the marathon.

In short: First Marathon - nice views
In full: First time running a marathon. Nice course clearly marked, very welcome jelly babies at the water stops!

However no goody bags at the finish, just the t shirt, poor location poorly sign posted. The showers were freezing (an incentive to run faster!!)

All in all, very friendly atmosphere, nicely organised but a little room for improvement.

Thanks to all the organisers and friendly marshalls
