In short: Glorious route
In full: One of the best scenic coastal courses you could wish to do. No facilities at start of the race but this was made up for by the small field, local runners & very social feeling that the run rewards you with. Came from Bristol in the morning & made very welcome. Concerns at the pre-race brief re:- route following did not prove an issue as this was very well marked with marshalls at potentially tricky points.

In short: Brilliant.
In full: I loved this race. The route is totally fantastic. Mainly off road. Along cliff paths, on the beach, a few hills and amazing views. Highly recommended.

In full: I/we had a wonderful day. The organisation and camaraderie were spot-on. Lots of hills which I was not the only one to walk!! Cannot wait to re-do and improve on my hill-capacity and speed. Once going thought the area and route were uplifting and inspiring. Many thanks!x

In short: tough - but fair and fun
In full: Hills, hills, hills, where does Mark find them ? We were blessed with some glorious weather which kept the muddy bits to a minimum but certainly brought out the sweat on the uphill bits. Hard & long first hill to the top of the White Horse but worth it for the glorious view almost all the way round. Lots of grass, a bit of tarmac, twists and turns on the coastal path & did i mention some hills? Killer last mile - first the beach and deep shingle at the end then turn back for the steep uphill to Bowleaze viewpoint but you do finish with a nice downhill which looks good for the cameras. Course very well marked out, chocs and drinks chucked in at the end as well. Well done Bustinskin, another great run.
