2008 Coniston Trail Race
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 20% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Top marks for effort - nearly!
In full: It was such a shame about the rain - if the event had been a day either side the original course would have been 100% viable. I visit The Lakes frequently and have never seen so much water on the ground. A great effort by the organisers to put on anything at all, much less a fully marshalled 11k race. Shame - again - about the loud music in the barn - drowned out any post race chat and was painful - through sheer volume - to my ears. A special thank you to all the marshals who were heroic.

In short: Yet again a superb day - far more interesting than a road race, friendly, and well organized.

2007 Midsummer Munro Half-Marathon
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 20% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Superb in every respect, but don't expect a PB!
In full: This is my second go at this race and I will be back for more. The organization, atmosphere, scenery, and post race picnic are all superb. Some of the hills are tough but so steep that surely no one runs them in either direction. This is the sort of event that you think about daily for several weeks afterwards, a bit like that first marathon!

In short: Superb day, looking forward to next year.
In full: One of the highs of my running career. Don't be put off by the hills and it's tough image. It's a bit of a softee really in that a lot of the hills are so steep that noone can run them in either direction. Having said that you need to have done some hill training to stop yourself grinding to a halt, and my legs are jolly sore today!
