In short: Best race of the year
In full: I love this race! Hard work from the off, but so much fun running down hill on the way back. Just walk up the really steep hills and steps and run the rest. Thanks Dr Rob for a fantastic race - I'll be back!

In short: Tough friendly race through some great scenery
In full: For starters this is a tough course, the run up to Leith Hill is a gradual climb pretty much all the way with two steep sections near the top.
The second half is back the way you came so pretty much all downhill with a nasty little climb at about 12.5 miles!
Surface is a mixture of mainly forest tracks and sand and a bit of grass and tarmac.
Overall, a friendly event with lots of encouragement from spectators, marshalls and fellow competitors and no feel of elitism.
Probably not an ideal first race (it was mine) but as long as you are prepared to tough it out you will a very rewarding experience.

In short: Don't expect to run it all, unless you're superhuman
In full: Tough as nails with some exceptionally killer hills, more x-country than I expected but that made it all the better.
Well deserved fry-up after the race along with a tech t-shirt (with your name on that back), a memento and medal. Well worth the £32 entry fee - if not just for the experience.
I'll be back next year for sure and I'd highly recommend taking part.

In short: Wow! What a toughy . . .
In full: . . . but absolutely fantastic! This race was fantastically organised with great marshalls all the way around. The sweeties at the water stop were most welcome and probably helped my speediness on the way home! That and the thought of the breakfast! These races are always brilliantly organised and the race memento's were great. Will defo do this again - unless I see sense at some point but am now considering the Greensands. I must be mad . . .
