In short: A good off-road run with a mixture of woods and hillside fields. I would say undulating rather than hilly, it's more the surface than the inclines that are the challenge. Trail shoes are recommended. Would defo do it again.

In short: Testing race in the snow !
In full: I wasn't sure if this race would go ahead a couple of days beforehand , but luckily it did, and gave me a real good test. The snow made you feel as if you had to work twice as hard, but I thought the course was a great balance of uphill, downhill and flats,
Friendly marshalling and great support considering the weather. A nice medal and choccie bar at the end was appreciated . To sum up, a good start to my 2013 race calendar !

In short: S'no race like a snow race! :)
In full: I've ran the skyline 10k a couple of times now. I love the views and challenging muddy areas and find the marshalls very friendly and encouraging.
Fun in the snow today though!

In short: Snow made this a special race.
In full: Excellent race in the snow on a good cross country course made going slow but an excellent race. Thanks to marshals, shivering in cold conditions, but still offering plenty of support.
