In short: Excellent. Great introduction to fell races
In full: This is a great summer evening race. Course is steep, but not excessively so when compared to other fell races, so good for those who want to try one for the first time. Great organisation. No frills required. Thanks Weston AC.

In full: My god did I get the shock of my life trying to get up that hill!
Amazing route. Pissing with rain. Massive puddles. Terrified atop the Medips in Thunder and Lightning. Loved it once I'd recovered.

In short: Great race bargain entry fee - all should be like this.
In full: This comment is about the 2008 race, not 2007 as stated about.
Small (107 runners) friendly, mainly club runners event. Very hard climb to the summit then fast challenging descent - great for mountain goats. Well organised and realistically priced.
