In short: Mud, Hills, more mud, more hills.
In full: Never laughed as much during a race. Fanatastic fun all the way round and surprisingly hard over the last couple of muddy, soggy freezing miles! This race sells out for a reason!

In full: Ok I should have trained harder but what a race. I've done easier marathons! Bloody good fun though, and very very muddy :-) Definitely want to do it again.

In short: Toughest race I have ever done by a big margin!!!
In full: This race is not for the faint hearted - I knew it was going to be hard but it was really, really, really hard!!! It was almost soul destroying in places! Was supposed to be running with my husband but he is injured so was on my own so thanks to those who helped me up when I fell and when I almost twisted my ankle!! At the end I said never again and was completely exhausted....but now in hindsight I would say it is definitely a special race and I will be entering next year....but I may do more hill training in the Lakes to prepare me a bit better - I have just stopped aching! ;-)

In short: Best Ever - could rival Tough Guy!
In full: Everything was fantastic - organisation, signage, marshalling, route... I've done all of the Delamere Forest ones so far and this was the best by far - more mud (as I asked for last year (sorry!)) and more off trail through the trees etc. Well done to the organisers - I still think you get great value for the entry fee!

In short: Great muddiness as usual - terrible organisation at the end
In full: The last thing you want after 12.1 miles of mud is to have to stand for 20 minutes to get a goody bag - why could the stewards not have packed these before!!!!! Also - the man with the water bottles was nowhere near the finish area - where he was most needed
