In full: This event was great, i think the cadets were great for their encourageent. Can't wait to do again, funny when i fell face first into the river, shame my ipod did not like it though, i would tell every one invest in trail shoes as there was too many people falling over.

In short: Probably the muddiest I've ever been - good fun though!
In full: Despite heavy rain during the week the first mile or so was reasonably firm underfoot
That firmness soon disappeared as the dark clouds gathered, the wind picked up and finally the rain came! Competitors in the main were still going out of their way to miss the 'puddles' clearly unaware of what was to come!
As the race progressed the tougher climbs appeared, the water became deeper, the grass more sodden and the bogs harder to wade through
If you're doing a Turbo X for the first time take plenty of towels to dry yourself off after and a bin liner for your kit!
Super day, well organised and many thanks to all the marshalls who stayed out to make sure the competitors returned to base!

In short: Fan-bloody-muddy-tastic
In full: Wind, rain, mud, puddles, bogs, hills, trees. I have been running for seven years and this is the most fun I have ever had on a run - bar none!! Must do event, will be back next year, and the year after.....

In short: My 3rd Turbo X, hardest 1 yet cos of month of rain before, the driving rain and gail force wind on the day, but I guess you could call that perfect Turbo X conditions. Loved it cant wait for the next 1!!!

In short: Move over Hellrunner! - this one sets the standard now!
In full: Mud, bogs, wind, rain, mud, bogs, sand, wind, rain, water, mud, bogs. What more could a girl want? What a way to sped a Sunday - up to your armpits in the real bogs of doom! Next year cannot come quick enough!!

In short: Tough as hell but about as much fun as it is possible to have!.
In full: Excellent organisation. Race route was well fantastic had everything and the bogs were deeper and muddier than ever. If you want fun then these races are a must. See you all in 2010.

In short: i would have liked to have seen a little mud.
In full: great running race, wind and rain and bog, i ran throw every puddle but was disapointed to see most runners going round which i fought was the hole point.
