In short: cold & wet but really good fun
In full: I love this race - even if the weather was dreadful its really good fun. Its one I look forward to every year and this year seemed to be even better. If you can, you should at least give it ago once.

In short: Wind, rain and MUD
In full: A big thankyou to Worthing Striders, especially all the marshalls standing around in the wind and rain.
I thoroughly enjoyed this race, the course is great, and the weather added an extra challenge to the mud, didn't stop the smiles though.
It was nice to have a choice of mementos at the finish, along with a shower - even if it was a chilly one.
Will definately be back for more.

In full: When you see so many people coming over the finish line covered in mud and smiling, you know it's been a great race. Many thanks to all the organisers and friendly marshals. Enjoyed myself very much.

In full: What an outstanding pre christmas run. Hilly and muddy on a variety of surfaces. The weather was dire but the friendliness of the host club and the dedication of the marshalls and PCSO's made for a fantastic day. Many thanks.
