In short: Simply incredible feeling finishing it! Can't wait until next year!
In full: I was one of the younger lot that did it (four of us that were 17) and we thought it was brutal but brilliant...can't wait to do it again.

In short: Tough and challenging, but well worth the effort for the views
In full: Excellent organisation and a fantastic course. Hard work but great fun - made all the more enjoyable by terrific support and encouragement from other runners and marshalls.

In short: The best trail run I've ever done (and I've done a few)
In full: This is an outstanding event. The organisation made you think it had been going for a decade, but in fact it was the inaugural race! The course is very tough - only elite runners who can do a half marathon in 1:09 would expect to run every yard of it. Expect lung bursting walks, death-defying downhill plunges and MUD.

A superb race, the most fun I've had in years. I'll be back.
