In short: Tough, but worth it!
In full: My 3rd year at this race, and how it's gathering in numbers now word is getting round. A great - but challenging - course. Thank goodness for fine weather otherwise could be pretty grim!
Well organised by local Lions club, although my only gripes are the same as last year; Lack of a dedicated website (still can't find any results!) and some isolated areas of the route could probably do with a marshal or two just from the point of view if anyone suffers an injury, you're a long way from help.
Great send off & presentation by the Mayor. Ace grub at the end at race HQ, and all in a fantastic setting. I'll be back for more.
A definite challenge, but well worth the effort

In short: Tough hilly 10 race, but it's great
In full: Great race organised by the Colne Valley Lions, who did a great job. Tough and hilly but the views more than made up for it. Great food for the runners at the end too.
Will be back next year

In short: Very tough but a good challenge
In full: This was the first time I have done this race. Despite the fact that I regularly run on some parts of this route it was still tough.
However, it was a great experience and I was pleased with my time 1:38.
Would definately do it again.

In short: Tough but worth it for the scenery!
In full: Definitely a challenging 10 miles with some hard uphills on trails, but then the downhills are great in the second half. Good finish. Friendly runners and organisers. Great refreshments for all runners as part of the reasonable entry fee (and a medal!) A good day! Worth the trip, glad the weather was dry!
