In short: Great race, very friendly and well organised, highly recommended
In full: Really well done and thank you to the Rotary clubs for taking on the event for the first time this year, it was really enjoyable and must be a logistical nightmare to organise!
A few minor comments: tea/coffee at the start would be nice, especially if the weather turns out worse than it did; there were a couple of places when reaching junctions with noone in sight in front of me where I had to ask which way to go, it would have been great to have a bit more positive directing for us lonesome runners; and the results/prize giving didn't seem to work out very well considering there was chip timing.. but overall a great job and still one of the best races of the year!

In full: Really a beautiful part of Dorset, but you certainly have to work for the privilage of looking at it! Nicely organised and very enjoyable, thanks Trotters!

In short: One of the must-do events of the year
In full: On the way up the Stickle path I always think to myself "why am I doing this again?" - by the end I've always got a smile on my face :)
As always the marshalling and organisation was superb, it's amazing how friendly people can be when they're standing in drizzle!
Nice t-shirt too :) Thanks for a great race, see you next year!

In full: Very well organised too - not as tough as I expected, also they could have encouraged a better class of nudist on the nudist beach ;)

In short: Horrendously hilly - but FUN!
In full: First time running this one, I hear stories from past years of wading through fields, winds so strong they blow you back up the hill and oodles of glorious mud! Definitely will be back -although next year I might book the following day off work so I can slob out.. I mean.. uh.. recover..

In short: Well organised, fairly tough, good fun!
In full: Around 150 runners, the winners time was just over 36 minutes. A varied figure of 8 course with enough hills to make a pb tricky.. Tropheys came with a locally made lardy cake and a cucumber!
