In short: When they say it’s a hilly route they mean it.
In full: This is defiantly a hard run, some of the downs are as harsh as the ups. Great setting, scenery and marshalling made for an enjoyable run with a big sense of achievement. The dry weather was a plus.
Hope to do it next year.

In short: The Hills are alive...
In full: Top race. The hills were, well, as expected - pretty tough.

Generally loved it but will never get over the twits who run up and down the course.
