In short: Fantastic
In full: Can't believe they may not put this race on next year. Best 'race' I've ever done (it was Hawkshead before Sunday). I will be so disappointed if this is cancelled next year as took my time this year due to an injury so was hoping to smash my time next year!

In short: three little words
In full: Tough Tough Tough but very very enjoyable, first climb so soon after the start was an eye opener not to mention the climb to the top of the pass (must be the highest hill i've (ran???) walked up without a pack on my back) and the little hill at the end was even worse after 19km. Gates and stiles at the end provide a welcome rest though and the last 2k run in was brill.

In short: Challenging race, amazing views ,definately deserves the most scenic award!
In full: A huge number of friendly marshal's on the course, a tough climb but stunning views to reward you at the top of Garburn. Music, food and t-shirts(Like the colour!) all included at the finish. The Junior fun Trails are an exciting finale to the day. Another well organised event in the Lakeland Trails series. Long may Garburn continue!

In short: Hardest run I have ever done!
In full: Organisation brill, marshalls and the locals friendly and supportive, so thanks to them. Shame about the first water station. The hills were killers, the descents fast and fun. I have never felt so completely shattered after a race. The beer (after plenty of water) was good, and the peter rabbit runs made it a very good family day out
