In short: A tough race, but without being daftly so, and a wonderful challenge.
In full: It winds through a forest up and down Holmbury Hill through some wonderful scenery, notably the viewpoint at the summit at about 10 miles, with a field of about 200 runners of all abilities.
As an indicator of difficulty, I got within 8 minutes of my half marathon PB.
This year's race had the added fun of a missing direction marker at a key turning, which lost me a few precious places, but other than that a brilliant day out and one I would move holidays not to miss.
