In short: Superb scenery, great organisation and atmosphere and some tough running!
In full: This is a race over an outstanding course, with some of the most spectacular coastal scenery there is. There were a good number of first timers (to this event and ultras in general), and the organisation was such that it made it approachable. The course is tough in places, with a lot of narrow and sometimes quite overgrown paths and steep steps. The first 20 is not too hard (generally :o)), the middle to Mousehole is flat, but less interesting, and the final section feels pretty brutal, but is really worth the effort. The 6 am start meant a pretty early rise (4 am), following a long drive down to Cornwall, so it's a long day, but I can thoroughly recommend this one!

In short: A unique and magnificient run
In full: This event hurts. The long drive, early start, 12 hours on your feet and the weeks of jelly legs after. It's all worth it to pass through some of the most breathtaking scenery on this island of ours. To pass the headland at the Lizard and see Lands End 30 miles across the sea, then to approach the finish in the afternoon and look back gives a unique satisfaction. Professional slick organisation (except for the non-sticky numbers!). This event is a treasure.
