In full: Really enjoyed taking part in the Relay Marathon for the first time. I found the hills on my section a challenge and the transitions were busy. However the event was well organised and the atmosphere and scenery were great.

In full: This is my "local" half as I live in Andover. Really good organisation and a great feel not one for the faint hearted but a great introduction to trail running. I hope to try again next year and this time arrive a bit earlier!

In full: amazing organisation - and off road races are difficult. and a full, half and relay all together could be a mess but worked brilliantly. as did bus and baggage transfers, well done to the organisers

In short: Can't stop comming back!
In full: I've run this event every year since I started running. First with the relay, and the 1/2 for the last three years. I just love this event. Great atmosphere, friendly marshalls, and (usually) plenty of mud, although it was dry this year.
One day, I'll have a crack at the marathon.
