In short: Really enjoyed this race.
In full: Really enjoyed this race. Thought it was well organised the only issue being was some waiting around for the presentation but that gave me time to warm down anyway so that suited me. I competed in the Farmyard Frolick last year which is also a Quest Event so knew what to expect and it didn't dissapoint. Will be entering next year without a doubt.

In short: A fun day out and a very interesting course.
In full: Needs a secure bag drop so solo runners like me can be happy to leave stuff.
I think some of the obstacles could be wider to stop holding up runners especially as some were simply bypassing them (Tyres and plank bridge for example). Maybe these could be replaced with more mud!
I really enjoyed the run though and I will definately be back next year.

In short: Enjoyable off road race with plenty of mud and water and a varierty of running surfaces.
In full: This was a great event which I think will only get better. The DJ at the start/finish line was good as was the British Military Fitness Warm up. Th race was well organised and the marshals were very friendly and encouraging. Decent goody bag and race t-shirt as well. Presentation should have been issued a bit quicker. I'll be signing up next year.
