In short: This race takes the biscuit....
In full: A trail 15 miler that feels considerably longer. The weather adds to the ambience - can be cold and muddy can be warm and dry. Fantastic organisation and support around the route. Make no mistake this is a tough event but everyone should tell their Grandchildren that did a B15 and survived. I will be back again...

In short: great race ... one of my favs
In full: the only race of this sort in the area so always draws a good crowd. Course is challenging to say the least and the wetter it's been the better it gets ... plenty of muddy bits. seemed well organised, plenty of marshalls along the route and a decent tshirt aswell!

In short: Apart from a nice 5 mile section in the middle, I found the course a bit flat and boring. weather was good if a little windy and marshalls were very supportive. Narrow start makes it difficult to get into an early rhythm, though that probably helps

In short: Second time on the course. Very enjoyable and good fun.
In full: Was concerned that the new start would be a little cramped - it is narrower than it used to be. This problem didn't exist when the start was at the rugby club, but the problem was not huge - only collided with one other runner. sorry.
