In short: Nice change form tarmac halfs.
In full: Enjoyable for the variety, but little tst who is patrols Saltaire suggests better marshalling as you come of the canal, tourists are not that considerate, and there were no warning signs for the stupid.
I can't say there was a good part of the course, I enjoyed it all. The start, Esholt (what a big sewage works), the canal, the hill, the boggy top and the final hill to the finish, all have things to recommend and remember it.

In short: Challenging, changes of terrain keep it interesting, great race.
In full: Some bits you may as well walk as it's just as quick as running - steep muddy hillsides, the canal towpath is nice and flat for a fast mid-section, swear I went up to my knee in one bog hole en-route to Harvey's gallops - all in all GREAT FUN !!

In short: A well organised race.
In full: Only one niggle was the placement of the first water stop. Had to drink quickly then duck for the barrier. Everything else including the weather went really well.
