In short: Equal parts mud and fun.
In full: Really enjoyed this year's Slog, it's always a favourite race. Very friendly, very challenging and extremely muddy. Plus a lovely Tshirt!

In short: Hot, hilly, but beautiful and friendly.
In full: Brilliantly organised, really glad that they added in extra water and sponges, slightly disappointed that they'd run out of BBQ by the time I finished, but I was right at the back, so can't really grumble! Still got a nice refreshing glass of wine, lovely medal and t-shirt. The race director was very nice, and the marshals throughout the course were charming and helpful, and showed no frustration or boredom despite the 6.5 hour wait for runners to finish. Fabulous race.

In short: Hard work but worth it
In full: Despite the difficulties of an undulating course and the hottest day of the year so far, this is one of the best races I've ever run! Lots of water stations, really helpful, friendly marshals, and amazingly, a cannon to start the race!! Plus, a medal, tshirt and certificate for finishing, this is a race I'll be back for next year.

In short: Mud in places I don't even want to think about!
In full: Despite the mud, the freezing cold water and the hills, this was a fabulous run, enjoyed it so much! I haven't done this race for years, but it's every bit as good as I remembered!
