In short: Mud, scenery, hills, and water. What more could you want?
In full: Cracking race. Lots of mud, some hills, and plenty snippets of good scenery here and there. Nice understated t-shirt with the minimum of advertisements. May actually use the t-shirt outside of the house instead of as rags for my bike!

In short: Good flat pb course that deserves greater support
In full: Flat out and back course (same as 10k only with further added on). Not necessary the most scenic course, but best 10 mile pb course in devon makes this worthy of better support.

In short: Fantastic off road run makes it worth ignoring hefty entry fee
