In short: Good 2.4 mile road run 9 miles of almost flat boggy biking followed by 4.5 miles of almost flat boggy XC run with 4 dykes for good measure.
In full: An entry of around 75 people with good parking, plenty of space, toilets (with hot water) make this very well organized event.
Little pricy but all profits do go to charity.
The race is 2.4 miles of seaside hard surface before the boggy mud starts. The biking is almost flat 2 laps of 4.5miles muddy marsh land with little chance to build much momentum. The XC run is a repeat of the 4.5 mile bike course which is now very cut up by 2 laps of the bikes. There is also 4 cold water filled dykes to run though.
All in all this is a very fun and friendy event which will make most people feel very welcome.
