In full: Agree with most of before posts. My 3rd year and wow, what a change !! the organisation was non-existant. Horrendous bag drop, no markers...blah blah...all been said before. The one thing that struck me this year that I did not feel on past 2 years was the sheer volumn of runners !!! Way, way too congested through the streets..positively dangerous. Pedestrians all over the shop. Madness at times. Am very surprised someone wasn't hurt. Last year people moaned about no medals...this year pretty o.k. medals but the rest appears to have gone downhill.

In short: First marathon I've ever done when I couldn't decide to be sick or go to the loo !!
In full: This was my first ultra. I'm local and know parts of the route...that helped as was able to visualise where I was. Was expecting mud, but boy, NOT like that !! It was incredible. I won't go on about the mud as we all saw it. What I took away from the day was the amazing friendliness of the other runners..being one of the few women the blokes were just great and supportive. Ran a long way near another woman runner from Salisbury - thx to her because she was brilliant. One of the hardest things I have EVER done and I have had 2 children !! Lovely people at the checkpoints - very friendly and chatty - thanks to them. A fantastic day out but not sure I would do another ultra that time of year....or maybe give me a few weeks and I might change my mind ! Was looking to complete in 5.30 and was only 10 mins out so can live with that. Fantastic, tough, friendly, uplifting event. Wanted a medal though !!

2009 2009 PUMA HellRunner: Hell Down South

In full: Second time at Hellrunner. Great stuff. First time they have introduced first wave/second wave - I think for the more elite to go off without bunching up. I opted for second wave but would go first wave next year. There was no real control over who went where. No gap in first wave going off. I ended up at pretty much at the back and had to fight my way forward. I was under the impression there would be a gap and I was going to go near the front of second wave - not so. Still a brilliant race and I enjoyed it yet again.
