In short: Is their a better race in Somerset these days?
In full: My third visit to this great race did not disappoint. Superbly organised and ran like clockwork.
Everyone was very friendly and in all i thought that this was the best race yet.
For me this is the best race of the year now in Somerset. The distance means you are not always hunting a PB and can just enjoy the wonderful scenery.
Really good value too + the club donate money to charity.
Well done to the organisers and i will be back next year of that i can be sure.
The catfish!

In short: Despite being a tough race it's still one of my all-time favourites.
In full: My third time and the hills don't get any easier! But the organisation, friendly atmosphere and scenery make this race well worth re-visiting. The marshalls are great and there always seems to be plenty of them. And this year, there were even more jelly babies!
