In short: Mud, hills, water, grass, hardbase tracks, trees, a bit of everything for everybody, from the fast "professionals" to the slow first timers.
In full: Enjoyable friendly event and a good introduction to off road racing.I would recommend wearing trail shoes as the start area and the big hill are very muddy. Nice to run through the trees and the narrow tracks(makes overtaking fun but at least the trees keep the wind off you). There are plenty of twists and turns to keep your mind off the distance you are running, and by the end of lap 2 you are supprised you have finished. There is 1 water station at the start of the second lap and you find out how hard it is to drink from a cup whilst running! As a first timer to this type of event I found it great fun and a change from running on boring roads. Somehow, despite the terrain, I managed to take 2 mins off my fastest road 10km time. How did that happen!!! Can't wait for the next 2 events
