In short: I have run the middle and last section now. The weather has been glorious and have thoroughly enjoyed the run, even though it is hard work.. The atmoshere is wonderful.

In short: I loved this race the scenery was awesome, a tough challenging course well supported with friendly people at plenty of drinks stations and so different to race with horses too. Felt a real sense of achievement finishing this one, back next year.

In short: The man v. horse is the best race I have ever done. I certainly have signed up for next year. Certainly unique and great fun. What running really should be: getting back to nature and being stupid. But don't tell anyone else! Keep it small.
