In short: Second time here, and I hope to return again and again
In full: I ran this last year and enjoyed it again this year, despite it being a bit of a journey for me and my time being nearly 6 minutes slower. No hiding a lack of running, particularly on this course that isn't exactly hilly but certainly isn't exactly flat either - never quite lets you go. Really good race, this, nicely organised and well marshalled. I hope the numbers increase even more, though if they do that one pinch point at the start would be more of a problem. But I enjoyed the whole thing (again).

In short: New favourite !
In full: Worth the drive from Birmingham [ well my mate drove!]. Great scenery all the way , varied road and off road route with plenty of steep bits to keep you working and no boring main road sections as so many events seem to have. Well done to organisers - well marshalled out in the sticks and water every two miles on blistering day. Really enjoyed + definitely be back.

In short: Hot and hard
In full: My first time at this race. Organisation was good. The HQ was well signposted.
The course was a good testing one. Might have enjoyed the second half more if I wasn't suffering so much.
Plenty of water stations and a good crowd at the finish.

In short: Outstanding scenery, challenging course
In full: Excellent scenery and a very well thought out course. Little up and down, but that keeps it interesting. Not masses of support, perhaps locals aren't aware it's on because most the runners seem to be from clubs. Would like to do again, but please bring the start forward, 10:30 is too late and results in running in excessive heat.

In short: Definitely a must do race. One of my favourites.
In full: I usually target fast PB courses, but this is a race I do just for 'me'. Everything about the race is spot on. I was so pleased to see from the Results that there was a big increase in numbers. Did the name change help? I tend to find out about some of the races I do from Bryan Dale's race photo website www.racephotos.org.uk. This time around it looks like I am going to get 5 race photos totally free. These are the icing on the cake for me. My son is so proud to show his mum on the Internet to his friends.
