2012 The Hard Way Round the Rock 21
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 20% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Fantastic and brutal XC race. Amazing scenery. Well marshalled.
In full: This is the third Cross Country (XC) race I have done this year.
The ‘Hard Way Round the Rock’ makes Pewsey’s Terminator seem like a dull walk in a not so lumpy park but is right up there with Seaton’s amazing Grizzly in regard to scenery, views, brutal climbs & descents.
A huge thanks to RMPAC for putting on a well organised event.
The Hard Way Round the Rock really does deserve a much bigger entry in my opinion as it has to be one of the best multi terrain races in the South.

In short: Urban & rural town half. Well supported.
In full: Some good support around the town. Fast first 6 miles mostly downhill. Slow 2nd half of race due to gradual incline most of the way back in. Also a lot of pavement hopping required so not the quickest of courses. Good start and finish location.

2007 Votwo Kamikaze Adventure Run 8
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 20% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: "8 miles of outrageous XC running fun", just like it said on the flier!
In full: Up hills, down hills, streams, bogs, rope swings, a kamikaze slide, more hills, one with ropes to help pull yourself up with, mud, a fantastic spectators area, a crawl net, some strange hay arrangement to clamber over, and the Votwo wall!
An excellent race both for spectators and us mad enough to take part.
