In short: Although very challenging, what a superb event.
In full: This has to be the race of the year for those who are slightly mad. Boy what a great day! The organisation, marshalling and staff at the water stations were just superb, well done Istead & Ifield. See you next year.

In short: Tough multi-terrain event - excellent 4me!
In full: Istead & Ifield Harriers put on a superb event, which was well attended and seemed to be fully appreciated by all. Excellent route and very well marshalled. Absolute credit to the organisation.
