In short: Undulating and tough but well worth it!
In full: Great course though no chance of a PB. Scenery superb though didn't notice a great deal as hurting to much! Really tough last 800m climb. Well organised, little disappointed it was just under 10k.

In short: Uppy downy with some nice bluebell woods
In full: Bit of a bottleneck in the first km but apart from that a good course - not too hilly but the tester at the end finished me off. Liked the bluebell woods too!

In short: Magnificent bluebells this year!
In full: This is a great race and I come back to test myself on this challenging course each year. The start was quite congested but worth it to change around the finish and car parking - well done the organisers. Only gripe, could do with car parking marshals to prevent everyone going up the same track, would have been quicker to direct people 2 ways from the gate.

In short: Tough, but worth it!
In full: Good run although the hill at the end tested everyone's determination! It would also have been a good idea to close the road to Seldon Farm as an oncoming tractor, 2 4x4s and a motorbike seemed determined to flatten runners at the end of the race!

In short: Enjoyed this alot, although it did hurt a bit! Agree with others, need more loos. Lucky with weather; it was perfect for a race.

In short: Fast, teasing & undulating trail race in pleasant surroundings
In full: Easy to find but parking a little suspect in sodden field. A couple more port-a-loos wouldn't have gone amiss either. Race itself was enjoyable with good mixture of terrain and undulation. Short sharp incline at end was a bit rude. While it cannot be helped that momentos were not delivered on time, better dissemination of this information would be prudent so that runners don't leave disgruntled. I look forward to receiving the thermal mug in the post.
