In short: A Splashing Good Run!
In full: Almost didn't run this race as the course instructions made it sound that you may well end up having to follow a map!... glad that I ran it now.
Easy to follow route - guided by plenty of marshalls - varied running surfaces, with lots of puddles this year - made it all the more fun! Liked the Bottle of wine, beer and mince pie goody bag.
Easy free parking as well - at the end of the same road as the Zoo... ... I'll be back!

In short: Festive must, bring on the mud!!
In full: First timer to this event, not raced since August and certainly not done any off-road, but this was a delight as much as a challenge! 90% of mud and water along with quite a strong wind didn't make it PB material ... but it was just for the pure fun of it that I entered, and it was certainly that. Great organisation, brilliant marshalls and fantastic festive goody bag. A bargain, this will be going in the calendar for next year. Well done everyone.
