In short: Lungbursting first climb, then flat for a bit before more climbs and descents.
In full: Scenic, well organised mostly off road event. Laid back but efficient marshalling of scenic course that had several punishing climbs and manic descents on rocky paths. Splendid views and leavy shaded lanes (with unavoidable puddles) made this a fun race.

In short: Great little race, with friendly marshalls, beautiful scenery
In full: Whether you call it Seahorse Trail or Quarrymans Trail it makes no difference, this still is a beautiful run, very well organised. A good selection of up and downs with a bit of mud thrown in. Great to finish by the pub too ;O}

In short: This one makes you work, gets the hill training for the whole week out of the way in one day
In full: 1st lungbursting mile is all up hill, then a pleasant trot along a rolling bridleway, another sharp climb on tarmac, more bridleway, this one with a rough, fast descent, then a gentle climb before plumetting downhill to the finish.
