In short: They finally got it right!! I loved the new start, and to not have to wait around getting cold was great!
In full: Another year and another PB and finally it started on time (which for the club that had run a sweepstake on how late it would start was a bit of a disapointment!!).

My only criticisms are that I felt very rushed at the start so didn't get a warm up and despite being told on numerous occasions to start at the right places, once you got to the start there was no one marshalling so you could just jump in anywhere... but apart from that well done everyone!

In short: A really tough off road race (particulary with the solid mud in the first 5miles) but fantastically organised and really friendly.
In full: For £7 it was a bargain and I loved the coach to the start, even if due to the clouds we couldn't see it when we got there!

One definitly to repeat, but in off road shoes next time!!

In short: A great well organised race with a late start! To be able to race on traffic free roads was the icing on the cake!

In short: a great race, very well organised and although slippery in parts, the marshalls made sure we knew exactly where those bits were... thanks!

In short: Once again a great fast race... had the added advantage of starting from the front this year so no weaving for the first couple of miles!

In short: great organisation, atmosphere (although spooky at times in the dark!) a definite must for beginners, intermediates and those that like running in crowds!

In short: The rain; the lack of fully working chips; the lack of results and the poor goody bag at the end could put you off forever, but actually I really enjoyed it...and got a PB!
