In short: You know its going to hurt, but only until half way!
In full: Seems a bit miserable with the low pb potential scores - this is the only 7 I've ever run, 3rd time this year and scraped another 16 seconds off my best (and 4 years older than last time now too). Wonderful setting, and no wind or rain this year either.

In short: Tough climb - but great view from the top
In full: First time at this event and am surprised it doesn't attract more. A challenging course (for the first half anyway) but the view from the top is fantastic. Big thanks to the organisers and volunteers - look forward to seeing you all next year.

In short: Tough hills but stunning views and good atmosphere make up for it
In full: I'd done a trial run round the course a few days before so knew what to expect, but it didnt make the climb up Withenshaw Lane any easier, after the flat at the top tho a nice run down through the forest and past the resevoirs and found enough in the tank for a little sprint finish :) Excellent cakes afterwards too! And a friendly atmosphere throughout the day.
Will certainly be doing this one again next year.

In short: Awsome Views!
In full: This was my 3rd year running in this event and I now know why I keep coming back for more The veiws are amazing at the top of the hill climb at 3 and a half miles and I love running through the small section round Macc forest. What made my day better was I actually improved my time by 5 minutes from last year. Well Done to all the marshalls and organisers. See you all again next year.

In short: scenic
In full: Steady climb for 2.5 miles, then a real killer to about 4 miles, followed by a fast downhill stretch. Glorious scenery. Well organised. Best Lemon Drizzle cake I have tasted (in the parish hall afterwards.) The perfect day!

In short: A race of two halves...
In full: A tough first half, Withinshawe Lane is a killer, but once at the top its all downhill from there!!! And Langley church hall is great - cakes and tea superb!! Oh, some great views too...
