In short: Great Grizzly again - thanks AVR
In full: Once again, a great run. You even ordered perfect weather this year. T shirts were brilliant. Looking forward to next year already. This is not 'one of my favourite races', it IS MY FAVOURITE RACE.

In short: Tough but brilliant!
In full: Tough mix of terrain, lots of ascent and descent. Lives up to being one of the hardest 20 milers. Great support and marshalling, I will definitely be back. Big thanks to Axe Valley Runners and all their volunteers.

In short: Superb
In full: By far the toughest, most scenic, enjoyable run race I have ever done (...and I have done hundreds). Huge thanks to Axe Valley Runners and the people of Seaton & SE Devon for putting on an amazing event.
I will definately be back in 2013.
