In short: Scenery beautiful - lucky with the weather - good challenging terrain but very nice to have the last mile either downhill or on the flat

In short: Really good multi-terrain race with beautiful scenery, all the facilities of Weston-Super-Mare and great organisation. A must-do race every year!

In short: Challenging in dry sunny weather (which we had). I can see it would earn "tough" in the wet.

In short: Well organised the race depends on the weather and this year it was in our favour
In full: The race went like clockwork well signed and all helpers had happy smiling faces. They could add a bit more to the entrance fee and then include the T Shirt

In short: Fun, friendly, well organised, challenging - to be recommended
In full: I worked out I last did the race in 2002 - so the course has changed since then. This is still a really enjoyable event with a great atmosphere. It's a fair way to travel from Leicestershire but well worth it. Thanks to the friendly marshalls too.
