In short: Hard is possibly playing down how tough this is!
In full: I only entered this as I have friends on the rock and they suggested it and I am so glad that I did. What a hidden gem of a race - I'd recomend it to anyone looking for something slightly out of the ordinary. A great course, different, very challenging and a refreshing change. Despite the overcast weather the scenary was fantastic and I imagine on a clear day they would be something truly special. The organisation was faultless, and the glass momento was an original and lovely souvenir.

In short: I loved this event!
In full: Fabulous event.

A couple of minor niggles to get out the way the gate just after the start and in a few places it is a bit narrow for overtaking (more the fault of people running down the middle or 2 abreast without thinking), but they are very minor. Support on the course at the water points and recommended viewing spots was enthusiastic, the band at one of them a lovely surprise and some support from walkers and people on narrow boats.

It's not really a course for PB chasing although I clocked one (albeit by just a handful of seconds), the course is predominantly flat and is certainly not slow. But I think most people don't enter for that reason, the course is lovely and makes for a thoroughly enjoyable run.
