In short: Great fun & teamwork. Well organised 'waves' of runners meant the course never felt too busy. Not a run for PB Seekers as all of those blooming obstacles keep getting in the way - don't expect to use your trainers either !!

In short: Great event made all the more fun by the obstacles!!
In full: Not your typical 10K run!! A 10K course starting at Battersea Power Station, moving into Battersea Park and back again, with 16 obstacle zones along the way consisting of water, mud, ice, sand bags, climbing, crawling and more water and mud!! Well worth it and I will definitely be entering again next year.

In short: painfully enjoyable ;)
In full: having run over 250 races over 7 years this race is right up there with the best of them. having just recovered from ITB and having pulled a muscle in my lower back the day before the race i couldnt give it a 100% but i enjoyed every bit of it, location was brilliant, starting in waves was very well organised, other runners seemed to help each other on the tougher obstacles, all in all a excellent race. if it had one downside it was the unsupervised baggage area we were all encouraged to travel by train/tube/bus as there was no parking and if you cant park and get changed by your car then you have to bring a bag and with 7000 runners thats a lot of bags.

In short: Awesome Challenge
In full: Great race really challenging your need to be more than a good runner to complete it. Only thing that let it down was poor map of course for both spectators and runners.

In short: Oodles of fun
In full: Totally different from any other race I've done before. Enjoyed most of the obstacles...needed a bit of help over the wall (thank you to the marshall) and not sure I enjoyed the freezing cold water (twice!) about halfway round. Didn't mind the bottlenecking as gave me a bit of a breather :) wish I'd done this as part of a team as think it would have been a good laugh-not so much fun solo! Really wasn't necessary for an ultra competitive guy to push me over with his enthusiasm to get past, if you want to race it then don't start in wave 11!! Def needed water at the end. But all in all a fun day out..I probably won't trek 3 hours to Nottingham again but have signed up for the new London one next week so it cant have been that bad!!
