In short: Great Run, Shite Weather
In full: Nice little race for beginners and veterans alike. Great place to start and finish, with excellent support throughout and coaches laid on at the finish to bus people back to the start.

Could have done with a little better organisation at the finish, but everyone was in good spirits so it wasn't too much of a bind.

Two minor points - Bloody horrible weather, felt very sorry for the organisers and marshals who had to suffer it.

And the T'Shirt has to be one of the most hideous I've ever recieved (Not complaining), but the person who designed it should really be encouraged to enjoy a long happy retirement (Truly awful). LOL

Apart from that great fun.

In short: Excellent Little Race.
In full: Despite the best attempts of Mother Nature it was a nice little outing.

Very friendly marshalls and a nice scenic route that took in numerous muddy puddles and bemused looking horses.

In short: Aarrgghh !!
In full: My admiration and respect for anyone who ran the marathon has gone up several notches.

I 'only' did the half and was an hour outside my PB, but when you have such stunning scenary it was well worth it.

Would love to be able to afford to do all 7 Half's and be able to do all 7 Marathons.

Top Notch.

In short: Excellent Little Race
In full: Contacted the organisers late in the day after deciding I could manage this, and glad I did.

Faultless organisation, went off in 'waves' according to predicted finish times and despite feeling a few niggles all the way round I managed to knock a big chunk off last years time.

Highly recommened, thanks to everyone at the Shufflers an excellent race.

And local too !

In short: Fantastic
In full: Did this as a challenge walker with my GF and our two dogs (A brindle Lurcher if you ran past us), and loved it.

Fantastic scenary, very friendly, loved the cakes and am very tempted to run it next year.

My only regret is that our third mutt couldn't make it due to a muscle strain (Well that's her excuse).

Will definately be back again, in some capacity.

In short: Excellent little Bank Holiday Jaunt.
In full: Great Race shame about this runner.

To be honest I was sh*t and had a poor race, the race itself was excellent along a lovely disused railyway track.

Well worth a look next year.

Shame about this fat lump pretending to be a runner.

In short: Bleeding Hell, that was tough.
In full: A Credit to Portsmouth Joggers and all the marshals for putting on such a good event.
Found it very, very tough and when I cam to Butser hill I understood what all the fuss was about.
Ouch !

In short: Mudtastic fun
In full: Thanks to all the marshalls for helping to stage this one, had a great time.

The mud and ice made it a little challenging, but then that's half the fun.

Improved on last years time by around 17mins and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Schedule permitting will be back next year.
