In short: Christmas isn't Christmas without doing the Chevin
In full: The Chevin is a Christmas highlight to make a dent in all the extra calories that get piled on.
It doesn't get any less hilly, but the marshals & crowd support really give you a lift on the tricky parts. Very icy this year and a wait at the stiles for us slower runners cooled things down a bit-also no medium t-shirts left so my wife's got another kaftan, but apart from that it was all gravy and we're looking forward to C.C 2011. 10/10

In short: Wonderful Boxing Day Race
In full: A tough trail/road course with a lot of climbing/descending over the 7 miles but ultimately very very rewarding.
Special moment at the top of the last significant climb with clouds and a glorious view of a snow covered Wharfe valley. Already on my to do list for next year.
Great fun.

In short: Cracking event and well worth doing
In full: Tough course with around 1000-1200 ft of climbing (and descending) but excellent scenery and a great atmosphere. Slightly spoiled by a cock up on the finish line meaning I lost 2 places (mainly due to a numberless runner trying to run through the finish line) but otherwise a very good race.
