In short: Score might have doubled if the weather was nicer!!
In full: The scenery is great, and the course is pretty good. Unfortunately the weather was horrible and spoiled what i'm sure is a lovely event. Nice long sleeved tee shirt.

In short: Don't be daunted by the hills, this is a superb race!!
In full: At least once you've gone up you come back down again! The views are great, organisation slick and everyone very friendly. Even with the hills a pb is not out of the question. Bring it on next year!

In short: The scenery is the best bit
In full: I enjoyed this run but its is strictly a tough training session not a race. Its definately a walkers event, us runners werent really that important which makes it quite expensive; no memento was disappointing. If it grows it'll be great, as the course really is spectacular.

In short: Very hard course in very hot conditions!
In full: The course was made up of very long stretches of road, and in the heat made it extremely hard! PB potential not great due to hilly ish course! Cool t-shirt, nice flap jack and well organised.

In short: Not for the faint hearted (or lunged, or legged)!!

In short: Another good race but challenging in the conditions - again!
In full: Well organised and very friendly race. Nice memento this year - a towel! very useful. Windy conditions made a challenging hilly course even harder. Loads of prizes but still a quick presentation. Well done!!

In short: Very pleasant race, very hot this year
In full: Better than my scores suggest. Marshelling could have been better in a few places. Extremely hot especially with the last few k's uphill!

In short: Very good race, shame about the start
In full: Big thank you to the organisers of this race. I agree that this would be a superb event if the start is sorted out a little better.

In short: Tough, hilly off road course with some nice views. Kissing gate half way up hill breaks the rhythm a bit but overall a good event.
