In short: Best race of the year
In full: 2nd year completed, looking forward to number 3; I would travel from the other side of the world to be in the Slog.
Great race filled with fantastic people, support, fun, pain and memories that will last a lifetime.
Hats off to Gordon and Bitton RR.

In short: It is the 8th wonder of the world!
In full: All 7 wonders of the world have to be visited and experienced, They are set in beautiful settings and structures are well maintained. Therefore the Slog is the 8th wonder of the world! i.e. the sheep dip is magnificently maintained full of stinky muddy water, the ditches are easily accessible by slippy, muddy sandbags. The surrounding landscape is picturesque, the livestock and crowds are well trained to observe, clap and cheer. The Slog is an experience to be revisited time and time again!

In short: Several days and several showers later, I still feel that I am carrying a little bit of Sodbury’s sod with me. But I’ll quite happily collect some more next year.

In short: Top organisation from Bitton roiad runners and Gordon Robbins
In full: I love the whole event, from the respect given by all the runners prior to the race, to the excellent marshals,and goody bag. The only thing i don't understand is the numerous runners who enter this race and wimp around the mud on sodbury common, if they are'nt going to embrace the mud, why take part ?

In short: 6th year in a row for me - it's fair to say I'm a fan!
In full: What keeps me coming back every year, driving 2+ hours to spend a Sunday morning getting covered in mud? The challenge, the fun, the mud, the atmosphere, the organisation, the two-minute silence, the Last Post, the friends, the post-race pizza, the general feeling of being properly alive.
