In short: Pukka,Well done the organisers.
In full: Good run,well organised by friendly marshalls.
Lovely scenic run through the woods.A little demoralising when you see the herd of faster runners coming at you when you're slogging away at the incline.Enough runners to keep the competative streak in you happy,but not too many to turn it into a stampede.
A cracking cuppa at the end and a banana,what more could you ask for?
Glad I wore trainers though!!

In short: Great Trail race, first one I have done barefoot!
In full: I did this race last year really on a whim, little training but really enjoyed it! This year just as good! Organised really well and I would recommend to my barefooted friends as it is definately a beautiful setting and running barefoot along a roman road humbles you!! Hope this event continues to grow from strength to strength and would do more of these OVERRUN Events again!!
Thanks!!

In short: Nice trail run but needed more marshals
In full: Enjoyable trail run (well done to the bare-foot runner!) but there were a couple of places where runners were unsure of the way - people were wandering off onto the wrong trail - so a few more marshals or arrows would be good. Nice race though.

In short: Yes, that's a hill! Not seen one of those before.
In full: Extremely friendly and helpful marshals and staff who registered me despite not finding my details on the list.
The hilly bits were a rare experience in Cambridgeshire so the tea and bikkies at the end felt well deserved.
This was my first commercial race and I am already thinking about doing another with the same organisers.
My worst nit pick was that they could get someone with a bit more design flair to do the medal and t shirt, but tastes vary!

In short: Excellent! Look forward to more events!! A great day!
In full: Really Enjoyed the day! Well organised (1st event for these organisers so great start) Tougher than expected as they found the only hill in Cambridgeshire but satisfying to say the least! Will look forward to this event in the future!

In short: Lovely Autumn race, very friendly
In full: Hillier than I expected, given that it is just outside Cambridge! I was initially a bit concerned about how organised it was going to be (signing up just involved paying via paypal, with no confirmation email/pack) but my fears were unfounded. Very friendly organisers, smooth registration, well-marked course, brilliant atmosphere at the finish with lots of supporters. Lovely scenery.
