In short: fantastic, just what an off road event should be
In full: A great mixture of terrain with the run never allowing you to settle into your stride. A big thanks to the marshell who did a great job of keeping everybody's spirits up The atmosphere was fantastic and an event well worth turning up for on a cold wintery day

In short: Exhilarating and exhausting - but exhilaration won out ... after I'd crossed the finish line after that tortuous run for home along that pebble beach.
In full: May I just say thanks to the couple who helped me to my feet after I went flying at around the 14-mile mark (they were both wearing Ironman vests so probably found the Grizzly a walk in the park - or maybe not!).

In full: This to me is a "must do" life experience....and I'm grateful to all those involved who helped me tick it off the list.

In short: 2006 Grizzly - exceptional as usual.
In full: This was my 10th Grizzly and it was tough! AVR excelled themselves this year - hardly any of the course was really runnable! Great run, great atmosphere, brilliant support from marshalls and other helpers, and from spectators. Thank you all. Back next year.
