In short: No refunds or transfers to second round
In full: I did the 10k race in 2010 as my first ever 'race', and it was a really good experience. I had planned to do all 3 this year and have entered for the upcoming 10k. However, a few days ago I pulled a calf muscle and phoned JustRacingUK to request that they kindly transfer my entry to the second round as I wouldn't be fit for this one, a simple request I would've thought as I wasn't asking for my money back. Despite giving 5 days notice of my injury, they were unhelpful and unwilling to offer me anything other than "if you don't run you lose your money" essentially. I feel a tad annoyed with this as it is hardly a major hardship to just transfer to the next round in 3 weeks time. I'm not bothered about the £12 quid...it's the principle and their "computer says no" attitude. As a result I'll not be taking part in this event in future.

In short: Great organisation, plenty of mud, evil hill, great fun
In full: This was my first multi-terrain and loved it. 3 laps of the same course. Had just the right mix of mud and hills to challenge and paths to recover. Really enjoyed the whole experience. Would definitely run again

In short: Lovely setting and good challenge
In full: Really challenging and enjoyable. Field smaller than I thought and clearly lots of very good runners - did not seem to be many doing the 15k and they were all very good. So even doing a PB I was well back in the field! Still a great day though. Thanks to marshalls who were great.

In short: Challenging but good fun and great atmosphere
In full: This was a very clubby race with some really good runners but beginners seemed welcome, though there weren't many running the 15km. The organisation was excellent, and I liked the music playing at the finish. A challenging course, which was good training and a nice medal at the finish.
