In short: over the heath and back to a beautiful sandy beach - soothed my aching legs in the sea afterwards

In short: I was worried about the sand on the beach, but as it was hard packed it was breeze; the killer was the sand leading on to the beach and it nearly killed me! But worth it. Great race, lovely views and great atmosphere.

In short: Leg burner
In full: A general murmer went up when it was announced that the last 3km would be along the beach, they forgot to mention the dunes before that! Great fun though. Legs feeling it today.

In short: The dunes the dunes!!
In full: Really enjoyed this very challenging race. Agree with a comment from someone else here, the soft sand at the 8k mark was the worst bit for me. Oh and that Agglestone rock thing aswell. But saying that I thoroughly enjoyed it and cant fault anything. Lovely weather also and the finish on the beach was something different than I am used to. Although at one stage I thought the finishing line was a mirage. I could see it from a long way out but it just didnt seem to get any closer...........

In full: Varied terrain, beautiful scenery and well organised - appreciated the jelly babies at the water stop. Will be back next year.

In short: Back again...the race went the otherway this year (reversed) which seemed a bit harder. Great fun, wonderfully friendly and abnormally warm for the end of October....I will be back again and recommend anyone from novice to pro!

In short: Great organisation and beautiful scenery!!!
In full: Multi terrain races aren't really my bag but I must say this one is something special. After deciding to enter on Friday, I will deffinitely be back next year for more. Superbly organised and the scenery is breathtaking. Great atmoshpere for both beginners and hardended pros alike. Fantastic!

In short: Not the best one to wear new trainers on! but good race nonetheless
In full: This was my first multi terrain race and it was certainly challenging compared to road running. The soft sand at about 8km almost finished me off. But would definitely try it again.
