In short: Fantastic in every - possibly the best organisation of any race I have done.
In full: Brilliant race, few nice cheeky climbs to get you going before the big one then final sting in the last 2km. Some the tracks very rough, I fell and left some bits of me on the big descent - fantastic organisation throughout - other race organisers should come to this and learn.

In short: Great race, I obviously enjoyed the hills as I managed a PB, hearing the names over the tannoy during the last mile was great

In short: Had a the worst run I've had for years, took me totally by surprise as I regularly train for 20m over Cannock Chase. Finished 30 mins later than I planned. Still a great race though. Not too keen on the horse brass - make it a tee shirt next year ??

In short: glorious weather and frozen ground stopped my feet sinking in the mud
In full: Late arrival and hearing the start hooter whilst still tying my laces and pulling meant top on didn't bode well. Still managed to run well and loved it .

In short: My first marathon - more training needed but lived to tell the tale.
In full: Trick of the eye makes it feel like running uphill for the first 18 miles, downhills caught me by surprise. Scenery stunning. Finish facilites great.
