In full: Welcome food at the end shows other races what can be done, without fancy sponsorship, etc..
No really my cup of tea, though, I think I'll stick to nice flat tarmac!

In short: The best value race ever
In full: Excellent, low-key organisation. Positively uplifting absence of corporate sponsorship!
Q. how does a non-sponsored event offer such excellent value, compared with the mega-Corp races, costing 5x as much?

2006 46th Hogs Back 8
| | Overall score | | 60% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 40% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Redeemed by the view from the top of the hill.....
In full: Organisation is OK, but seems a bit tired - same old formula every year, no visible improvements - specifically - first mile marker still in the wrong place (after several years), crappy medal (no date)and how about a cup of tea and a Mars bar at the finish?
