In short: Mud, what mud ?
In full: Obviously picked the right year to give this one a try..Difficult to beat on the scenery front, and well marshalled by the enthusiastic volunteers. Lots of friendly camarade on the way round, coupled with smooth start/ finish, baggage areas, made this a day to remember...

In short: A well organised race and a lovely undulating route
In full: This was my first time at Pewsey HM and I'll be back. The route was fairly similar to my training runs so I felt really at home :) and I actually got a 25second PB! :) The t-shirt made a nice change to a medal, all my medals are stuffed in a drawer somewhere but at least I'll wear the t-shirt :). Well done PVRC :)

In short: Good, well organised race with lots of marshals
In full: I can't really comment on PB potential as I was aiming to run at marathon pace, but it felt like it could be fast. There are a few inclines, and a longish hill leading up to 4 miles, but I've been running up steeper in training so that felt ok. There were lots of marshals to show the way and offer encouragement, and pretty much every walker, cyclist and even car drivers I passed seemed to be encouraging us. A great, well organised race, the only downside for me was that I got stung by a wasp somewhere between miles 1 and 2, but I can't blame the organisers for that!! It was nice to have T-shirts available in size S :-)

In short: Countryside and cakes!
In full: This is a fantastic race, PVRC really know how to do it. The course is very scenic, with open country side and quiet lanes. The marshalls were great, friendly and supportive.
T-shirt at the end - if you pre entered makes a nice change from the usual medals.
Will definately be back.
