In short: Trail race with a friendly atmosphere
In full: A nice route; a mixture of trails, some easy, some very rutted, challenging but not ridiculous, with a friendly 'small club race' atmosphere. I'll be back next year for more...

In short: Perfect fun...
In full: Great race, great organisation!
Friendly atmosphere, smiley marshalls and an event to make getting up on a cold morning worthwhile.
This is the second event I have attended organised by Marlborough running club and I can highly recommend them.
Well funky thick t-shirt and free tea!

In short: Good winter muddy run, it does what it says on the tin...
In full: Don't expect regular mile markers and an exact eight miles, content yourself with very happy and supportive marshalls, good scenery, a small sociable field and a reasonable amount of mud. I know which ones I'd rather have!
