In short: A tough race, but well worth the effort
In full: First-timer at Mud Runner, having previously enjoyed 2:09's Turbo X events.

Loved the course, loved the mud and loved the overall feel of the event.

My daughter and her friends entered the junior race and equally loved it.

My new favourite race.

Great work Kes and the team!

In short: they said 'nothing tougher'
In full: If only all races were this well organised. Over 3000 runners in two races and it went like clockwork. Chip timing meant it didn't matter what 'wave' you went in. Loads of loo's so virtually no queuing. Big hot tub at the end to soak away the mud and get over all those cold mud filled pits. My son did the kids race and couldn't get over being allowed to run in a river and bog! Race T-shirts in all sizes with special ladies fit ones too. Marshalls were brilliant. I'll definately be back next year. I would just add that if any first timers are thinking of doing this next time, don't wear ordinary trainers - some people could barely stay on their feet.Invest in a pair of fell or cross country shoes. Oh, and wear just shorts and vest - people in trousers and long sleeve tops were really struggling with the weight of their wet muddy clothes.

In short: Now that was hard
In full: Goodness, I did not know there could be so many types of mud.

I am not sure Mud Runner is right more like Mud Slither to my mind but what fun: awesome!!!!!!!!

Special thanks to the marshalls for pulling us out of the deeper swamps: I should think that must have been pretty exhausting.

Really good organisation and (happily) a first aid tent to help with bloodied knees after: not that you would notice until after a visit to the tub of love

Mud fest and then some more: most fun you could have outdoors on a sunday morning

Bring on 2013
