In short: a really fantastic event
In full: I've never ached so much, but it was a great 'race' and the organisation was far better than most.
A new one to add to my list of repeat events. If you enjoy being off-road you should consider this.
Friendly atmosphere, and plenty of encouragement from fellow runners.

In short: Worth every ache, pain, blister and bruise. Proud to have taken part.
In full: Every runner should do this once in their life.
Physically and mentally the toughest race i've ever done. Found reserves i never knew i had. The heat added to the toughness, but plenty of fluid on-route. Excellent marshalling, always willing you on, keeping up your spirits, providing precious water.
Faultless organisation. Ran like clockwork, superb goodiebag (with medal and t-shirt) and great picnic (top cakes). The utmost respect to all involved, especially all those who finished.
