In short: Not challenging enough. Too short.
In full: Good course but not as challenging as Hell Runner or GRIM. Felt a bit cheated on the distance. Should have been at least 2 miles longer. X Zone too short and offered limited challenge. Overall a well presented, semi challenging run and a good t shirt. I would do this again but i might bring the wife!

In short: loved every minute of it !
In full: this race had it all mud,sand ,water , hills and oh yeah more mud ! well organised and a great mix of runners , a great change from your normal race in fact i would love to do this more often . my only moans would be you need a 4x4 to get from the road to the car park and although t-shirt was great i really wanted some sort of medal for this kind of race , will be back again in november at longmoor . . .

In short: AWESOME race expertly planned.
In full: Well done 209 and the race team. The whole course was awesome and route marking was excellent. Great T-shirt and goody bag. This is one tough race but not ridiculously so. The sand course, hills and swamps were quite special. Will I be back......you bet, not going to miss a single Turbo X race now.

In short: Great bogs, sandpits from hell and terrific scenery and organisation
In full: Best off road race I've done for years! Lots of lovely trails through the woods and then the mud, mud, glorious mud! Well done to 2:09 and a goody bags with stuff I will actually use, drink and eat! Worth every penny

In short: Fantastic - what more can I say
In full: Brilliant race. Better than Hellrunner. Best course marking I have ever come across. Was on my own for a while and never had a doubt I was on the right path. Excellent goody bag - technical t-shirt in all sizes (and they hadn't run out of any even for the slowbies). Loved the winding paths through the woods. Plenty of parking. Could have done with a few more loos but even that queue was never that bad. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Can't wait for the next one. Thanks Mike and everyone concerned
