In short: Fantastic ultra with the best scenery of any race I have done.
In full: Beautiful race across the North Yorkshire Moors. Includes woods, hills, moorland, bogs (messy) etc. Tough course, not for the faint hearted, but certainly the most inspiring race I have done for a long time. Great tradition backing the race, very famous route.

In short: An absoloute must for those who like challenging ultra marathons. One of the most scenic ultra marathons out there.
In full: My favourite race of last year. 40 miles across the North Yorkshire moors. The best scenery of any marathon / ultra that I have done. Mixes woodland, hills, open moor, bogs (not fun), 99% off road.
Wonderful race for those looking for someting different. Make sure that you are confident in navigation though, no directions provided, and no signs anywhere. Easily enough on the internet to provide what you need, but dont arrive unprepared, you will get lost!!
PS they even provide free beer at the finish line :-) Now thats a first for me.

In short: Well organised race, could be improved by less stretches along main roads, but otherwise fine.
