In short: Dirty.........real dirrrrty
In full: If you like your running clean, at a fairly constant pace, with no obstacles or bottle necks, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!
If your up for a Sunday morning getting down and dirty in the Gloucestershire countryside, and your prepared to get around 8.5 miles any way you can. You've got to experience this at least once in your life.
Theres more mud than the Somme, they send you through rivers (next to perfectly good bridges) and judging by the amount of $hit, I recon they drive cows round the course before the runners start.
DO IT.....ITS GREAT!

In short: Best race of the year
In full: This is proper cross country. Losing shoes in the mud and lung busting hills. It should be put on the national curriculum!

In short: Mud, guts and glory!
In full: Mud, guts and glory!! Bloody loved it- especially trench full of smelly mud after 2 miles, the rivers and the view from the hill over the Severn Vale...Only annoyance: girly runners squealing and whingeing in the muddy bits- it's called a f****ing slog- what did you expect???

In short: Excellent value - never run anything quite like it, loved the river and the straw to hurdle was sheer hell but what a feeling when crossing the line! P.S. Socks going through the washing machine for the fourth time!!

In short: Brillant!!!
In full: Well what a brilliant day, nice crowd and plenty of Mud. This was my first time at the Slog, but it will not be my last.
If you interested in going next year and it is your first time be prepared to get VERY muddy, don't expect a PB for an 8 mile race and expect have plenty of fun.
