In short: Great atmosphere and scenery - and one of the hardest races I have done
In full: Second time around this year. Still came in the last handful of people, but might have to do it again next year! Love the anniversary t-shirt. Very supportive and friendly marshals encouraging us round. Lovely countryside and views.

In short: Amazing views, very tough course
In full: I was uncertain how this would go having not done this distance/kind of terrain before. However everyone I spoke to (marshals, runners and walkers) was very friendly and supportive. I was part of a nice groups at the back encouraging each other around the course and I don't know that I've ever had such a cheer when I finished before. The grassy fields at the top were great to run on and the views amazing - my favourite bit! Just one area for improvement... if giving pre-registered runners a choice of t-shirt sizes please can you make sure that there are some left. Being a slower running I already have far too many extra-large t-shirts that go down to my knees!

In short: A very enjoyable first half
In full: Friendly, enjoyable set-up. Water & energy drinks stations much appreciated. Helpful and encouraging marshalls. Good route - tunnel was lit, didnt need my torch, a bit dusty by the building being demolished. Didn't know anyone and other runners were really friendly and supportive. Really pleased with my medal!
