In short: Brilliant! Superbly enjoyable race as usual
In full: Shame it was postponed due to the unpredictable weather which made the Xmas fancy dress and the Pogues 'fairytale in new york' a bit surreal in January :)
Great race and one I wouldn't miss. Thanks Brackla keep up the good work!!!

In short: Great atmosphere, it is difficult to believe just how steep the first dune is even if you've done it before.

In short: A one-off race with the giant Big Dipper sand dune (800m long) at the start - fantastic atmosphere - love it!
In full: Wonderful race - very friendly and encouraging marshals, mulled-wine and mince pies at the top of the second long climb and the chance to get your feet wet as well - memorable and addictive!

In short: once again, the weather prayers were answered!
In full: ok, so it felt strange putting on a xmas hat in mid January, but Brackla Harriers are made of sterner stuff, and once the snow melted, we were back on!!!

In short: multitude of surfaces, all i can say is they shouldnt have stood so close to the water as I ploughed through like a escaped prisoner of war from stormy down...

In short: Brilliant yet again, the only truly "multi" terrain race I know
In full: My sixth time in a row and it never fails to please, in practice the waterlogging was not the issue feared. Amused at the shouts of disapproval I got for descending the dune at fell running pace.
