In short: Great run, the weather was good and the road nice and smooth!
In full: Great run with nice touches like personal water stops. Reasonably hilly, good support from the relay runners makes this a good run. Will be back!

In short: Maps, hills and mud! Brilliant!
In full: If you are after a run that you do not have to queue for anything! Or do not want to be penned on the road! Then this is the run for you!

27ish miles of hills, styles, and kissing gates! A great run with great organisation and the friendliest people organising it and manning the checkpoints you could ever wish for in a run.

Love d it from start to finish and felt surprisingly strong towards the end - even after the lovely set of stairs just before the finish.

My second year now and this is the only run that has a permanent place on my calendar. Will be back next year 100%.

In short: Great thanks!
In full: A nice run through the countryside, not really a race due to the number of people and the holdups this causes at every gate / or single lane hill.

So if you want to race this get near the front.

Besides that, loads of mud, fields and forest.

A good way to spend a Sunday.

In short: Great!
In full: Great run with good organisation and happy marshalls. Godd price too, with a great goody bag with a medal and a beanie. I know most people do not run trail races for the goody bag, but it is still nice to get a decent one!

In short: Thanks to all! PB ed! Just shows how unfit I used to be!
In full: Great run with a killer second hill, but this is over in 3 minutes or so and then nice downhill and flat!

Do not let the hill put you off, run as much as you can and walk the rest - you will make up the time!

Thanks - will be back!

In short: Thank you all
In full: A very nice run through some areas of the country very few people get to see.

Some nice hills and navigation was not hard at all.

Great marshalls and check points seemed to come around quickly - kept moral up thinking only 3 miles to the next check point!

Nice last five miles mostly flat or down hill makes a nice quick finish.

Will be back next year.

In short: Thanks to all! PB - on a hardish course!
In full: Enjoyed this run, a nice start in Avebury and a couple of hills to 4 miles, then a nice climb at 10 miles onto the plain, lovely headwind (why could we not run from Stonehenge and get the wind behind us I thought quite a few times!)

Then on tank tracks for 12 miles with a climbs at 16 miles and a few undulations after that.

All in about 2500ft of climbing so not too bad.

Lovely finish where you can see Stonehenge about 1.5 miles away and a nice downhill sprint to the line!

Good support all the way with the walkers being supportive and very helpful when coming to styles and gates!

Thanks to all - will be back next year!

In short: Amazing!
In full: A great run, that I had planned as a training run as a lead up to other races. However from 2012 this will be my main run!

Great food, friendly faces everywhere.

A few hills - with a mean set of steps at the end!

Loved it!
