In short: Great fun, well marked/marshalled route
In full: First off road route race I've done but had to as it's local. Hillier and tougher than I expected, plenty of mud, stiles and tree roots!

In short: Don't really like running but do so as part of rowing/mountain biking/road cycling training. This race could easily change my mind, Plenty of hills and mud in summary most enjoyable will be back for suree

In short: Hilly, muddy and scenic. Excellent race.
In full: A great race well worth adding to your racing calender. Got lost a couple of times on the route due to a marshall being absent on the first corner and the marking not being clear in places. That's the fun of cross country races. A mug and milkshake at the end.

In full: Loved this race, new to cross country and altho I twisted my ankle, ended up caked in mud and swore quite a lot climbing up the vertical hills, loved every second of it!
