In short: Great race, made a change from the mundane usual 10K although I think this was more 11 1/22. Definate do again! Fun and recommendedd, just need a bit more space on the obstacles

In short: A right laugh
In full: Been looking forward to doing this for ages.... and it was a laugh. Very flat course so the actual running was very easy. Price was a bit steep but I didn't mind as great t-shirt and goodie bag and the obstacles were well put together.

Only real complaint was that there should have been more waves with less people in each.... no chance of a fast of competetive time if you weren't in first wave due to having to queue for obstacles.

Other than that really good fun!

In short: Fun & friendly - obstacles are tough, but not impossible
In full: Price seems high, but excellent goody bag (not just leaflets for once!)& technical T-shirt and the obstacles must have cost to put in place, which seems to justify it.
Lack of any water at the finish as far as I could see though.
