In short: tough, but good
In full: A tough marathon, but well organised and enjoyable. As ever, having the right weather is vital.. almost right yesterday, just w little hot, but the organisers can't change it. Thanks TRAC.

In short: Nice marshalls, well organised. Pretty fast, but a bit blowy this time.
In full: I'd do it again. Apart from the long start on grass and the narrowness of the turn around a really fast course. Very friendly marshalls.

In short: Hilly off-roading in a special place
In full: Well organised from what I saw. Good route, but a little congested in the first 4 miles. Care needed if it is wet. Some nice support on the way - jelly babies and bananas at half way, long enough before the BIG hill. Good spread of food at the end, if you can face eating after a big run. Perhaps a slightly bigger bar area needed if it is wet, but in the dry it would have been fine. Not one to worry about times, but one to worry about your fitness for the hills :-)

In short: Tougher than old boots...
In full: There are a few races that challenge quite in this way.
If you like the Tough Guy, Hellrunner, Adventure races and the like, this is for you.
If you like a nice flat 5K on a prom with a following wind all the way, you may baulk at what this is about... But when you realise what this kind of running is about, you know you have reached another level in your capabilities as a human.
