In short: great race hot day
In full: Started on time , with a mile run along the canal bank which got you ready for the first climb which is longest on the run . you are mainly running on old train track for the first 23 miles to Ashbourne then its mixture of road and trail to Derby . the route markings where first class, never on the route did I not know the route. Well done!! only downside being a vegge sausage rolls, choclate bars and sweets on such a hot day where not very appealing , but it must be hard to trying to please everyone. Dried fruit is very good for giving extra energy .

In short: Well organised, welcoming and a sense of achievement at the end
In full: The route was very well marked with not much scope to get lost. The route itself covered some beautiful Peak District scenery and was largely off road and traffic free (old railways lines). The check points every 10 miles were welcomed, along with the drinks and food available at each. Rory Coleman gave some good advice at the beginning of the event and was there to greet each finisher in Derby. Well worth it: and adventure within a day!
