In short: wooded, cool. great views when woods opened out.
In full: slow uphill outward trail, some pressure to get to Leith Hill before cut-off time. Having to stop sometimes to give way to runners in opposite direction as trail quite narrow in parts - might a round route be better? Blissful downhill back to Dorking with veggie sausages and tomatoes soon afterwards!

In short: Would make a great 52 miler if the organisers can be persuaded to double the distance !

In short: Fantastic scenic leg burning Marathon
In full: Loved this event, the route was almost completely off-road and not particularly flat at any stage. The views from Leith Hill were spectacular and well worth the effort to climb it on two occasions. Nice goodies at the end and sound organisation. Will be back for more Trioniom events.

In short: Even though I had only done a half-marathon before the contrasting scenary and types of running made for an enjoyable run - but wish I had done 15 weeks of training instead of the 7 weeks I did!

In short: Absolutely loved it
In full: This was race 2 out of 3 in our 3in3in3 challenge. Never done a off road marathon before - knew it was going to be difficult with the hills - I was extremely apprehensive and nervous - but it turned out to be amazing and I loved it. Recommend to anybody!

In short: Hardest marathon I have ever run
In full: Wonderful event. Singing Jerusalem at the start of what was in reality mostly hardcore runners with a few brave and dare I say mad, first timers, was a great experience even for a Welsh man! I had run Snowdonia marathon the day before and was running Dublin marathon the next day, which meant slow and at times painful progress. Led to my worst ever time by a considerable margin, but the weekends plans caused that and not just the race. Good to see a number of treblers present and despite my time, would love to have done this without the pain in my legs.

In full: Brilliant! There is nothing not to like about this race if hills and stunning scenery is your thing. A great, friendly atmosphere with enocuraging marshalls and loads of support all the way there - and back!
