In short: rock hard but great at the same time
In full: I was shattered after the first 3 miles - just about recovering and then came TROOPERS LANE. I don't think I have ever seen a hill as steep as that let alone tried to run up it!! Please in the end with my time of 1.30 and will be back next year.

In short: awesome! a true gem
In full: Without doubt the highlight of my racing year,second time was better than first because i knew what to expect and noticed a lot that i missed the first time. A big thank you to ALL the marshalls who were extremely enthusiastic. Great value and very well organised. Of course the race itself is very tough but thats what makes it what it is. cant wait for next years race.

In short: hard but rewarding race
In full: Well-organised and friendly race with lots of challenging surfaces, plus a very steep half-mile hill. The river crossing at the end makes this memorable. I'll be back next year just to see if I can get round without falling over!

In short: Glorious trail race with a bit of everything
In full: First time at this, there is a lot of climb - hill at 4miles is v steep but view over 'fax stunning at top. Muddy downhills through bluebell woods are well worth the trip.
Need to get near the front at start for decent time tho - first 2 miles are difficult to overtake, still my favourite trail race to date, organisation and support excellent. Recommended.
