In short: Excellent
In full: Run is 5miles of gradual inclines -with some flats inbetween, and from 5 miles is down hill.
The organisation is excellent and all are made welcome, irrespective of experience.
Marshalls are good and encouraging especially on the last hill at 4-5mile mark.
Plenty of refreshments before and after. Its worth doing

In short: Very tough going up, easy coming down!
In full: Having read the 2004 revues, I can now confirm that they are pretty accurate. This is a pretty tough 7 miler, uphill for most of the first 4+ miles, downhill the rest. Great scenery and a nice big Christmas Pud at the end. If you want to do something a little more challenging than a Great Run 10K, then try this one!.

In short: Total ascent 225 metres, mostly in 1st 4 miles with one steep climb of 60m up to the highest point at 4 miles. Glorious scenery helps you forget about the climb. Recommended. 1lb Xmas pud well earned!

In short: Again a struggle over the hills.
In full: Despite the hills, where even the downhills were a struggle for me, a good race to do.
Well organised and marshalled.
I'll be there next year.
