In short: One of our favourite races.
In full: Extremely well organised, superb marshalls, a great varied course - this is the 3rd time we've done the Bluebell and look forward to it every year. Also, many thanks to the superb physio team for pinpointing a problem I have, and giving me stretches to combat it.

In short: Tough as you expect it to be. But somehow keeping back to do it.
In full: This is my fourth year of doing this run. I'm usually at the back and it's tough going through the churned up mud. I can't praise the marshalls enough. They were in plentiful supply, all at the right points and very encouraging, especially the one in the bluebell wood that guided me acroos the mud pool, when my legs were getting tired and the guys at the river crossing. I have to say I did not like the new diversions in place and it made the run seem longer? I liked the goody bag a good balance of healthy and sweet. Well done to the organisers and no doubt will be back again next year.
