In short: Happy as a pig in mud.
In full: Due to the very wet weather this race was a challenge for everyone on the slippery mud. But what a great fun race and top support from the marshals along the route. Well organised with BBQ at the finish and a great goody bag. Well done Almost Athletes.

In short: Challenging but fun
In full: Very muddy and slippery, even with fell shoes on. Pretty tricky descent since it was pretty dark under the trees. A towel instead of another T-shirt was useful. Wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy the barbecue. Pretty tough race with loads of encouraging marshalls and direction signs and despite the earlier rain, turned out to be a fine evening.

In short: Totally Awsome, Mud Glorious Mud & Wicked descents
In full: Totally loved this race! My second off road race but the best by far, some hard climbs to start but with breath taking views then some very fast descents was able to gain the places back I lost early on! Simply the race is SWEET :-)

In short: stiffish climb to reach a great view on the ridge, nice cross country along the top then an exciting descent - all challenging enough but not too far or too hardcore. Do it!
