In short: Very enjoyable challenge despite the rain!
In full: Really enjoyed this one. The race numbers went soggy too quickly though and I spent a minute in a field after a route sign was sabotaged. Other than that everything was excellent. Great scenery, slippery tracks, hills, rain, mud, nettles and lovely cakes made by a lady from Didcot Runners! Will be doing this route again with some of my club mates!

In short: all you could ask for in a multi terrain race, hills, mud, more hills and rain.
In full: well organised race. had a small blip when sign sent us into a field but apart from that excellent. with running on road, track, grass, chalk and mud, it had it all. with very challenging hills but stunning sceanary. with the added rain it made it a very challenging but rewarding race. shame there was only a small number running (same day as malmesbury half). will definatly be back next year.
