In short: Thanks to the runners
In full: I was actually one of the marshals at this event and just wanted to say thank you to the runners for making this such a wonderful race to be a marshal at. I was marshaling on Juniper Top (:-) - and had the task of sending all the runners back down the slope to the snowman - so they could run back up again). Although there were some slight curses everyone was really cheerful and friendly - never had so many thanks before. It was really appreciated and helped make this such a fun event to marshal. I will be back!!!

In short: Keep it up Dr Robert... Fnarrr!
In full: Again a brilliant race, the extra roady bit was uphill, brilliant... And excellent new hills by making us run up then down, then up again!!! Who'd've thought of that!!! Excellent fancy dress, cheese rolls, medal, shirt (when I get one, Dr Robert ALWAYS delivers!), mug, Roblets and especially marshalls. Ian - "Hawaiian Dude" with maracas...

In short: Brutally Beautiful
In full: I read read the reviews and was not disappointed, fantastic run with everyone in fancy dress cheering you on. Probably the best goody bag I have ever had, running shirt, cup, nice medal, soup and a chhese and pickle roll! Forget the time, just enjoy being out. This is what runs should be all about, a bit thanks to Rob and everyone at Trionium. Bring on the Leith Hill half marathon but I want to do this every year now.

In full: Thank you for a great race - organisation and goodies excellent, and soup delicious. Marshals and spectators motivational (names on numbers helped this too). That final descent with the Valkyries playing will be a top moment of 2012.Loved the bagpipes too, both at start and throughout the race when we were near the summit.See you next year, off to burst some blisters now!
