In short: Nice to back on the old course - Well done Amazing Feet
In full: Considering some of the conditions I have run this race in, it wasn't too bad. The rain held off for most of the race and the mud didn't seem as bad as I remembered it - I only slipped once ! but the hill at the end is as cruel as ever. All in all a great race.

In short: My first time for this race. Was bit worried from previous reports of mud and hills, so had prepared myself for a tough time. I thought the course was great. The muddy parts were nothing a pair of Mudclaws couldn't manage and although I couldn't r

In short: Will I ever get the mud from underneath my toenails?
In full: My first time at this event, having run the half marathon a couple of times. Anyone who is at all familiar with the Wyre Forest will know that the hills are going to test you - and it's a fair expectation that you'll get pretty muddy as well. So no complaints that I spent much of the race unable to enjoy the stunningly beautiful scenery for fear of taking my eyes of the track and ending up in a heap, or worse still freezing to death in the river that the course follows for a couple of miles. It was terrific fun (even if you wonder why you bother halfway up some of the more aggressive inclines). As always, Amazing Feet RD did a great job with the organisation - marshalls were friendly and encouraging and the mars bar at the end was more than welcome. I look forward to (hopefully) slightly less muddy conditions at the Half in July!

In short: Thanks for another great Wyre Forest 8
In full: Back to the old course, so slightly shorter this year than it has been for the last 3 years. It made the return seem a bit better! Quite muddy along by the river, generally a great run with very supportive marshals - thanks for the encouragement.

In short: A gloriously muddy romp through the wonderful Wyre Forest
In full: A very enjoyable race with a good turnout even in the inclement weather.
The hills and mud were hellacious and really challenged me, but the more seasoned seemed to bound up them!
Anyway, a great run and a fab way to spend a Sunday morning.

In full: Very well organised race, hard work though after the nice start, great friendly marshalls, muddy & wet but who cares when theres a mars bar waiting at the finish!
