In full: Third in the Autumn Series and definitely my favourite so far. Loved the course, and the views.
Just the right mix between competitive and fun.
Lots of smiling faces and encouragement from fellow competitors, the excellent marshals and spectators.

In short: Feel good factor racing with this backdrop is hard to beat. Get your timing systems updated!
In full: Really enjoyed the weekend and the courses, in a stunning part of the Lakes.
Is it too much to ask that you get the timings A) accurate and B) actually include all that finished?
Out of 4 of us that ran, 2 still don't appear anywhere in the saturday result. You (eventually) included me but my time and placing is wrong!
Didn't stop us having a good weekend, but sort it out, its not like its a cheap entry fee!

In full: Great trail running,even managed to finish after twisting my ankle after three mile,next six were hell but still worth while.
But how long does it take to provide the results.

In short: Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
In full: What a superb weekend, 2 stunning races on 2 days sunny days. Tough courses, 2nd day made harder by efforts of the first. This was my 1st introduction to proper trail running and I am a convert, going to hate to go back to road running.

In short: Excellant day :-)
In full: First trail race and i will definitely be back - great marshals, not one said 'nearly there' - my pet hate.
Great atmosphere amongst challenge runners and only one rude Race runner.
Fabulous weather and clear blue sky also helped!
