In short: Great Race - tough conditions underfoot .
In full: Pitty the organisers don't give age group prizes in 5 year groups, or at least produce the results in 5 year groups, as with all well supported races this should be the norm.

In short: Mud! Hills! Snow! Ice!
In full: Blimey, this was my first off road race and what a challenge it turned out to be, (for me at least!)
Some seriously steep hills you could only walk up, deep, gooey mud, snow and ice, saw several runners slip over and fall, but everyone had a great time.
Well organised, although the chap talking to us at the beginning could have done with a megaphone. Reminded me of Life of Brian - "What did he say? Blessed are the cheesemakers?"
All in all, challenging and good fun.

In short: Great 10 Multi Terrain Race
In full: I enjoyed my second Stagger, but it felt tougher this year due to the wintery conditions. Definitely one for the off-road shoes! I bettered last year's time, so was pleased, but those hills are tough! A nice coaster as a momento - looks good in my office. Well done Stourbridge RC - you only need to purchase a megaphone now for the start of the next race!

In short: Really enjoyed my first Stagger
In full: The Stagger was never going to provide a PB opportunity especially given the weather but it was a well organised race (apart from the lack of a P.A system at the start). I liked the challenging hills and the stiles made it seem like an elongated Steeple chase. I'll definitely run this again. Thanks Stourbridge RC.

In short: Glorious mud
In full: An excellent experience! Challenging, picturesque, slippy and with good support throughout. Great fun, although the announcements at the start of the race needed to be clearer.
