In short: Beautiful day for a beautiful run....
In full: Was nice to have a glorious day for the run this year, affording us lovely views from the hills of the countryside, the Deer Park and Eastnor Castle.
Good organisation as usual, and everything was as we've come to expect - top quality.
Will come again next year.

In short: Lovely race again, good challenge, beat my time by 10 mins by being a bit fitter for the hills. Thanks to the Marshall with the Jelly Beans, all were very encouraging. Lovely glass for finishers and doughnut too. Will be back again for sure!

In short: A good 'off road' race although too much hard surface in parts for my liking. Enjoyed the 'fell terrain' around the obelisk!!

In short: Hard off road race - excellent conditions - well organised
In full: First time, so didn't know what to expect. Seemed to be more ups than downs, hard but fair. Lots of encouragement and well marshalled. Must remember to do more off-road / hill work before next year!

In short: A fantastic way to spend a sunday morning
In full: A lovely course which gave fantastic views of the local countryside and was challenging enough in places. The marshalls were very friendly and encouraging (also the jelly baby was much appreciated!) and the half-pint glass as a momento was a nice touch. I'll be back next year!

In short: Excellent race
In full: Well organised race, hills not too steep, with some fast downhill sections, the volcanic ash did slow me down though

In full: Great race (despite all the ups!) with friendly marshalls and wonderful scenery. Last mile was wonderful but then I wish all races were downhill! Jelly baby was extremely well received but can I suggest its before the water station so you can wash it down after with a drink!?

In short: Excellent scenic and testing multiterrain race
In full: The fantastic weather meant that you were only up against the terrain so this is a very fair test of off-road running. I could see that with enough rain in the lead-up this could be very hard (this is not a criticism and I look forward to that eventuality). Three of us from my club made the trip from Cardiff and were well pleased and one of our number was first MV60 so a good morning out.
