In short: Off road 24 hour challenge - great atmosphere - very friendly - interesting 4.2mile loop
In full: Well organised first year - has potential to become an annual challenge for both solo runners and teams - tents/camping/friendly organisers - circuit became demanding in the torrential downpour through the night - added to the challenge - owls,swifts,fox and a water vole for company...and do not mention the ditch !

In short: Unacceptable - no excuse for no drinks at CP3 - huge blot on the organisation this year
In full: Why did CP3 run out of water, I was in the middle of the pack - unacceptable as the organisers had known the number of runners for months.The rest of the organisation was good.

In short: Great to be part of such an historic event.
In full: Only complaint really was the early depart time of the coaches resulting in a lot of hanging around in a cold school. Otherwise a great race.

In short: Good fast course
In full: Slow start for those of us near the back. Mainly downhill but far too much traffic for my liking.Pleased to have got a nice warm shower afterwards before a train journey home.

In short: Good event but should start earlier in the day
In full: Good event and better organised than last year. As in all multi lap ultra events the camaraderie was great.
Helpers on drink station were very good and the commentator in the car was good too.
I would like to see this race start earlier in the day as it makes a long journey home vey late.

In short: Major problems this year but lessons learnt hopefully
In full: 43 mins late starting, insufficient drinks. Marshalling very poor. Not enough toilets at start and on the route. Pasta party good, plenty to eat. Organisers very helpful.

In short: I agree entirely with Jonny Lynch, in fact it was the worst of my 63 Marathons. Organisers definitely need to look at the route for next year. Would not recommend this race to anyone. Only good thing was that t shirts were pre ordered so at least I h
