In short: Brilliant event from Rory and Jen
In full: Would agree with the other comment about being led into a false sense of security surrounding the fact that this was going to be 12 miles up and 28 down ish. Well this was one myth to put to bed after having completed it and it would be fairly safe to safe to say that this could be classed as a hilly to undulating run at least. Fantastic all the same and my thanks go out to Rory Coleman and Jen Salter for putting on a brilliant event that I for one will be back again next year.

In short: From the glory of the Peak District to the centre of Derby in one epic day out
In full: Great race and really well organised. Considering the length of the course they'd marked it really well. Great atmosphere and good running.

In short: Tough course and warm in the August heat. Thanks to Rory and Jen
In full: If you are thinking of doing this next year, don't be fooled by the up for 10m down for 30m...it's not. However, if you don;t rely on that this is one to just take your time on and enjoy the surroundings. The Tissington Train is long and (sorry to say) rather dull. But the organisation was excellent. I'll be trying some of the other ULTRArace events next year.
