In short: good fun, hopefully back next year to get proper wet and muddy.
In full: Small nice race in wooded surroundings, a fair few short sharp hills. No toilets, but plenty of trees!

In short: Great fun - can't beat a bit of mud once in a while.
In full: Positioning of some of the mile markers a bit suspect (did i really run 4:46 for the 7th mile?)

In short: Hell but worth it
In full: I am a beginner runner and the course is a killer (especially with the rain - although waterlogged socks help make it more of a challenge!). However, I made it through and glad I did - even if i did straggle in at the end! Said this is a favourite cos it was tough, it was hell but i made it through! :)
