In short: Think very tough. And then double it. Beautiful though.
In full: I did the Leith Hill 1/2 in March and the Greensands just goes to prove that a full marathon is much more than twice as tough as a half. Brutal and beautiful.

In short: It's definitely a challenge, but a change from chasing PBs on flat coursess
In full: I did the Hogsback 2 years ago and enjoyed it enough to do it again. However, the same two problems haven't been resolved: the mile markers are way out of kilter; and there seems to be a resistance to telling racers how much further than 8 miles the course is. Combine these and judging your sprint finish requires either an excellent knowledge of Loseley Park or a wild guess.

In short: Good new year's race with challenging hills which make a change from flat suburban PB friendly courses.
