In short: Wow this was tough!!
In full: This is a review for the 2010 race (only seems to go up to 2009 for some reason on the options).

I can safely say I am so chuffed to have done this race but it was so, so tough!! I had trainers which were useless for the conditions.

It seemed that there were a lot of club runners but beginners were welcome. The support from the town was great with marshalls appearing on even the toughest parts of the course. Seeing the train was fun but I was a tad over it the 4th time I saw it and was never going to beat it!!

Shame the showers weren't working at the end, great goody bag and definitely a race to do once in your lifetime.
