Just signed up for this with a few work colleagues. Yikes!

Anyone done this? Am I crazy for entering.

Don't worry! Think of it as a hard trail race with a few hills & the odd swamp! Nothing to be scared of. Just train lots of hills!

I did last years race. It was bonkers fun.

Did down south last year, in it again this year. Love it and hate it all at the same time

And it's not as bad as you think it will be

It's great fun, where else will you see 1500 sweaty/muddy/grinning adults on a Sunday morning

Thanks everyone

I've done a half marathon before which was relatively flat. I'm expecting this to be much harder. Am I right?

I think they are both as bad as each other but this one is MUCH more satisfying IMO

It's broken up more on Hell so you don't have the monotonous plod plod plod...and the mud and water make it much more fun. The cold is unbelievable but once you've done it you want to do it again lol

I think everyone should do it

Just throw in plenty of hill training & you'll be fine. And some off road races or training, trail or fell, so you get used to the ground being uneven.

I actually wasn't cold at all last year. I found the Bog of Doom surprisingly warm. Well, maybe not warm, but it wasn't that cold. All depends on the weather of course. It wasn't icy last year.

It's just a good laugh & the atmosphere on the start line is exciting.

Don't go off too fast, as most of the hard stuff is in the second half.

Thinking to do this as something new, so far only did road runs which starts to be a bit boring... I guess I won't be bored in this one ?

You certainly won't be bored Darina. Get practising on some hills....

I have done this twice now and loved it each time. Funny memories of a bloke running past me with only one trainer on and some poor woman falling flat on her face in the mud!! Ace stuff.
