In short: Muddy Fun
In full: Ok, this is a fun event. Key word being Fun as its not a route that lends itself to anything other than a mad dash and splash through some pretty cold water, under cargo nets and through some extra sticky mud. Great laugh to run as a group, would run this again next year.

In full: 1st hill is murder, a few bottle necks but what ever the problems it's all just a bit of a giggle really. Booked to do it again in 2009!

In full: I was a first timer and will defo do it again next year. The weather conditions were perfect, though I reckon if it had been throwing it down with rain it may not have been such fun as I wouldn't have been able to run fast enough to keep warm!

In short: Great atmosphere. Really good fun.
In full: A great race for atmosphere and something a bit more challenging. A staggered start would be better though as was pretty congested in narrower sections, especially towards the start. Thanks is needed for the Marshal who perked everyone with her singing!!
