In short: Best fun ever
In full: Firstly, a big no huge thank you to the marshals.
Great course, liked the ZigZag element. Hats off to the guy who ran in bare feet. Great mug (no doubt will cause more comments in the kitchen at work!) and top.
Will be back for more next year - Well done Rob and co

In short: Totally awesome race as usual!!!!
In full: As usual Dr Rob pulled it out of the bag yet again. I even made an effort to dress up as a so called fairy.
The marshalls and support from the front runners was wicked as usual.
Even with the extra 2K added on it was awesome and I've got to say the colour changing mug is super dooper!!!! GO DR ROB!!!!

In short: Does what it says on the tin.
In full: One of the few 'must do's' of the year - a great run-out in wonderful scenery and in good company. What more could you want?

In short: Fantastic event, gets better each year
In full: The second climb up Juniper Hill was a shock, nice touch running up the Zig Zags though. Ran the race with a dodgy ankle, operation booked later this month, so hope to run a bit faster next year. Thanks Dr Rob, another great event.

In short: The best deranged way to start the year
In full: Dr Rob and his marshals did another fantastic job - another big thank you. Every year I find myself looking around and grinning at the eccentricly dressed folk; I sang God Save the Queen while chatting to an elf and petting Death's huskies this year, other than Elton John's parties where else?. Big fan of the zigzag way addition too - will make watching Cav, Wiggo, G and the boys whizzing up it later this year even better.

PS 100% for PB as I've never run a 12k before.

In short: The perfect New Year's Hangover buster
In full: Rob, you did it again! Many thanks for a fantastic day, although it's now Tuesday and my legs are a bit sore. Fantastic organisation as usual, with friendly marshals steering us around the hard course. Some of it was very muddy, but that was just a good excuse to use my Christmas XC shoes.
Not many people can say that they spent New Year's Day chasing a Dalek and a French Maid up a hill...

In short: Wild, lively and colourful.
In full: Great atmosphere all round. Some of the costumes were fantastic but other left something to be desired (i.e. any fancy dress!) Very tough especially after new years parties the night before and fattening christmas but unquestionably worth it.

In short: Hard, Hard, Hard
In full: This is the best and hardest race of the year. Now on my 3rd run of this, I wouldn't miss it for the world. This was by far the most challenging route, which for me, made it twice as tough
