In short: Good potential and something different
In full: I've done a couple of these events and enjoyed this one. Nice that it wasn't too busy as you had the chance to run it rather than stuck behind walkers. I think £20 was a bit steap for a 10k and t-shirt i'll never wear. That said it's well worth doing so I should be back next year.

In short: Hilly, muddy and wet - who could ask for more?
In full: It was a great way to spend a Saturday morning. The motocross circuit was brutal (in a good way), the neck-deep water was a welcome addition and the marshals were friendly and encouraging. In true Grim style, the atmosphere and camaraderie were fantastic.
The only problem, apart from the traditional queues at the loos, was that not enough people entered!

In short: My third or fourth year at this and without doubt, the best one yet.
In full: I've rated this with high PB potential simply because you can only measure this race against itself. The added water "feature" was a blast, the course is excellent, organisation is brilliant, sense of accomplishment is high and I think someone needs to thank the marshalls who were amongst the best I have seen this year. Every year I say I won't do this horrible, leg burning hell ever again. Every year I do!
