In short: rain,wind and mud all an added bonus to what is a tough race anyway. Great organiation and a big thanks to the brave marshals who probably suffered more than the runners. Backagain next year.

In short: the heavy downpour made a great coarse better.
In full: very enjoyable, loved the coarse, with the rain adding an extra challenge, well done to the mashalls for braving the weather, very friendly atmosphere and good vfm, i will be back again, and recommend it to all.

In short: A great off-road route but tough in the conditions!
In full: A well-organised and small&friendly race. Due to a torrential downpour soon after the start it got muddy, wet and slippery on the hills fairly quickly but that's all part of the fun! The route would have got 5 for scenery but I couldn't see far in the cloud. Highly recommend this if you like a challenge but definitely not if you want a pb!
