In short: Difficult but very very enjoyable. Great scenery.
In full: Overall organisation was good, testing course but not as hard as some other Hellrunner events by the sound of it.

In short: Lots of fun..but course could have been better marked...
In full: ..especially about 2 miles from finish where I & others went the wrong direction!!! Overall super fun but please make it more hellish for next year!? Disappointing that the Little Devils run wasn't better supported: my two girls loved it so come on fellow runners bring your kids next year..

In short: Lovely course but admin dodgy
In full: Great course but website substandard-not enough info. Goody bag included a Cotswold brochure, pack of lo-salt, unsharpened Saab pencil and a pack of beef jerky (not great for veggies). Kids race got a goody bag the same except no t-shirt and an adult-sized cap.

In short: A definite challenge, and fun as well
In full: Didn't know what to expect and found it harder than I expected though not as wet or muddy despite the torrential rain the night before. Some more markers in the denser wooded areas would have been appreciated. I'd definitely give it another go next year.

In short: Another good "hell run" - lots of hills and forest running
In full: The mildest of the three hellrunner races - but great location. Longer forest hill climbs, not so many serious bogs. The Scottish horse flies got most people!
