In full: definately a better route than last year, a bit slippy and muddy in places but it did rain the whole day before,on the day the weather was a bit cool but just right for running really,very cold for spectators, i was very cross at the end when i got my free hot drink but when i tried to buy one for my poor freezing husband they would not sell a cup of tea, think that needs sorting for next year i know there was a burger van outside but we wanted to hear the presentation which was inside. also the old favourite lack of toilet facilities for the ladies, i would have liked to see some portaloos nearer the parking,after a long drive the last thing you need is to find the nearest loos are a good walk away, apart from those two issues a great race i knocked 19 mins off last years time and set a new pb, so i was well chuffed, see you next year

In full: a great race really good value,and good fun running in the dark with all the head torches bobbing along, you also got a spooky glow in the dark technical t shirt and a great goody bag, lots of people in fancy dress made for a good atmosphere, and a great feel good factor as it was for charity, well organised with chip timing as well, i will definately be back next year

In full: a really good race, with a very challenging hill halfway round,good fun,well organized with a running comentary over the tanoy,nice goody bag and t shirt, good value for money, could have had the prize giving nearer to the finish so more people could see it,we only stumbled across it by accident, but no complaints really, i will be back next year and be ready for that hill

In short: tough race not for beginners, more x country than trail
In full: very hard underfoot,but probably would be slippy if it was wet,organisation at the finish was a bit hit and miss, perhaps moving the start flag to the finish would help,i did not have a problem with walkers,all moved aside or i could get around them, but i was well to the back so it was probably more of an issue to the front runners

In full: I really enjoyed the race, found the two long pulls a bit tuff, didnt help that i wanted to go to the loo, the queues at the start were horrendous, i waited for 30mins then wanted to go again half way round, i spotted quite a few ladies having to use the bushes at the start,not very nice for us girls really that was the only downd
side, lack of toilet facilities at the start, the crowds were great very supportive and the guy who said "you should be proud of yourself" as i came off the bridge near the finish nearly made me cry.I am proud of myself and everyone else , the weather did not help being very hot but nice breeze on the bridge and nice views, a good race!

In full: a nice race,but organisation was poor, no parking marshals led to a free for all, a lack of toilets, led to a long queues, there were no signs pointing to the start, and after queing for the loo,i had to jog to the start, hearing the gun go as i got to the back,the race has grown in popularity but the organisation has not grown with it, it needs improving for next year
