In short: it doesn't get much better than this. muddy fields, muddy water and beautiful sunshine.
In full: A bit of a quick start, not everyone was out of the school gates before the the horn blew.
Quite a big bottle neck along the stream to the step up into the lane(a couple of miles in) but apart from that it was an excellent race, many thanks.

In short: Very good as usual. Water wetter, mud mudder than ever.
In full: This is a regular in my calendar due to the atmosphere on Remembrance Day. The gridlock at the first ditch was frustrating but did not distract from a great day out.

In short: Simply putting it...............Awesome!! lots and lots and lots of fun. Loads of variety mud, water, bales.
In full: As a note to the organisation; everything fine except the quing in the stream took quite a while, with many a impatient person climbing fences etc.

In short: A mix of water, mud and cow-pat
In full: Great fun and great organisation. Really enjoyable event involving many close shaves with mud cow pat and water features.
Maybe one extra water station required midway, however, nothing to complain about on this event as it was perfect.

In short: New course this year which made it slight;y longer - more like 9 miles but good fun as usual
In full: Goddie bag at the end was a nice touch and some good spot prizes. Good fun - I'll be back next year.

In full: Brilliant, what a excellent run!!! You won't get your PB, but this is a nice tough course.. If you are up for a good time and can handle 8 miles and don't mind getting muddy then do this run, it is one my most favorite run I enter each year.

In short: excellent fun
In full: well organised only slight route problem was the long wait at the first wet ditch.Lots of people cheated here and ran around rather than wait.You should be ashamed of yourselves!! Must go faster next year so I can get a hot shower.By the time I finished they were colder than the water out on the course!

In short: Lung busting, knee grazing, Shite covering fun.
In full: Lost my shoe, had to run back into the mud in my sock.
Submerged my crown jewels in freezing water, gashed my knee had ended up on antibiotics for a week. BUT I FINISHED!
Totally mad but best race I've done for fun and challenge!
