In short: What else could be more fun to do on a sunday morning?
In full: 10ish miles of mud, hills, rivers and fun. Even starting the race is an acomplishment in itself. Advice to those not sure about doing it: Do it and you'll never look back

In short: The best Hellrunner so far
In full: Despite getting stuck in traffic and missing the start (small grumble at the poor signage), this year's race was brilliant. This is my third Hellrunner and, without a doubt the BEST ever. I was expecting the water, bogs and sand but those vindictive little **** stepped it up a gear this year. Well done lads. Whoever designs the course deserves a medal. Keep challenging us!

In short: Good fun - when do you get a chance to wade through wist high muddy water!
In full: Runners should be set off in waves as it gets crowded on the narrow paths, particularly on the hills, meaning you have to keep stopping and walking.
