In short: A favourite, brilliant start to the year.
In full: I love this race. The perfect mix of challenge, mud and runners of all levels. Incredibly friendly and very encouraging marshalls.

I will be back again next year :-)

In short: Excellent course, organisation & marshalls
In full: Echo all that's been said, only dissapointment was that presumably due to the increasing numbers I only got one jaffa cake and no coaster... :-(

A cracking way to start the New Year's racing, not an easy course but well worth the trip over the Pennines - thanks to all at BVR.

In full: I have run this race for many years and ALWAYS enjoy it, lots of puddles and mud this year - the steps don't get any easier either but will always come back each year for another "go"

In short: One of the best!!
In full: Simply one of the best trail races around! Ok there's no frills but it's cheap to enter, has slick organisation, and a wonderful out and back course that has just about everything, hills, mud, puddles! What's not to like! Throw in the cheeriest marshals, and you have all you can ask for for £8! Bargain! See you next year!
