In short: Hills are good for us. Aren't they?!!
In full: A nice race, well organised, with great marshalling. Yeah the hills are tough, the 6-7 mile stretch is challenging, but it is downhill after that; character building I think!! Thanks.

In short: A bit disapointed, has such great potential but too many pitfalls.
In full: Despite a PB there are too many flaws with this race. Either somebody else needs to organise it (I like the idea of getting the Great Run bunch on the case), or thye need to limit the numbers to say 10,000 or less. Could be good, but I am disappointed and won't be doing it again.

In short: Nice scenic route.... but oh those hills!!
In full: Well organised event despite the postponement to the original event. Slightly less people participating than I was expecting, but again due to the delayed date I think. The hills were tougher than I expected. Shame about the out of date 'shake' given away at the end!!

In short: Oh my....... Mud, mud, mud and leg & lung busting hills!!!!
In full: Thoroughly enjoyable, lovely scenery, a tough (slow!!) race but well worth it for the sense of satisfaction at the end. Thank you to all the marshallers for plenty of encouragement. Top marks, thanks.

In short: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In full: A well organised event that made the most of the amazing scenery, although how I saw any of it with my head either in mud or staring at a crampon-requiring slope I don't know. Would do again for the personal challenge.

In short: Great organisation and the crowds were brilliant!
In full: A great day out. The only bad points being the narrow stretches of some parts of the course and the rain... A bit cold for my liking!! All in all though a great race and amazing support around the whole course.
