In short: My home town race, love it.
In full: This is my local race & 3rd time I've ran it over this course. It is very tough, but at least it wasn't 30 degrees like last year. Great fun in the mud & hills. I'd forgotten again how tough the last 2 miles are on this course.

In full: I keep coming back for more of those Geordie hills, I just love this race. The spectators are fantastic - you can't beat it. The heat was a bit of a shock this year, but I'll be back again next year - trying yet again to get near that 2 hour mark!!
