In short: Tough, muddy but very rewarding.
In full: Well done to everyone that finished yesterday, it does not get much tougher. Also a huge thanks to the organisers, marshalls and all the helpers. You made it a great run for everyone, and for me I cannot wait for next years race to come round, a permanent fixture in my calender.

In short: Great fun - even the last "hill"
In full: I use quotes around hill, as one runner put it afterwards:" it was like trying to climb up the north face of the Eiger" - according to Strava gradient it reached 32% at one point, so that description isn't far off. Would definitely run again if in the area.

the marshals are encouraging the event runs like clock work many a big race would be proud off
