In short: Tough
In full: Watch the first and second miles, they could waste you. Uphill all the way on those. The downhills dont compensate enough. Take off road shoes on this one. No medal or momento though. Be a n nice touch for the future.

In short: Challenging
In full: Great if you like this sort of thing. Dont go expecting a good 'run'. As it was the first year, there was noting to benchmark yourself on. All in all a nice race to brag about back at the office. Serious runners stay away.

In full: Agree with comments before. 6-9miles is tough. Hilly. Crowd and support were excellent. Very wet conditions at the finish made the grsss/mud slippy. Only thing missing were showers.

In short: Shh....I want to keep this quiet
In full: Travelled a fair way for this one. What a truly excellent race! Not a PB course due to hills. Great scenery, 200 people max, friendly marshalls, good organisation. Free Tea and buns, medal and a T-Shirt....but dont tell anyone. Ok?
