In short: Good race but tougher than expected.
In full: All in all a well organised race with that was good value for money. A bit up and down in places and I found it mentally tough as you could see the turn around points miles ahead of you, knowing once you reach it you've got to run all the way back.
Car park was main issue, waited over 45 mins to get out and moved about 2 metres. Ended up giving up and went to get something to eat. I'm sure this could have been manned better. If the parking had been better organised I would probably have come away much more positive about the race.

In short: Brilliant race that was superbly organised.
In full: Excellent organisation and stunning scenery went together to make this a really good race. Just before the halfway point I was beginning to think what an easy race it was... and then saw people hauling themselves up the first hill using rope to help them. Wanted to try to keep running up the hills but by the 3rd hill my legs needed to take it slightly more slowly.

2008 Run To Remember 10K
| | Overall score | | 60% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: A good race for a good cause.
In full: I enjoyed this race and managed to beat the time I was hoping for, although it is daunting after the first lap knowing there's a hill to run up at the end of the second lap. Only gripe would be there could have been more marshalls and the wooden bridges were dangerous just after the piles of mud, one guy behind me slipped over.

2008 The Magnificent Eastnor Castle Seven
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Mud and hills, bring it on.
In full: My first multi terrain race and I loved every minute of it. Finished a lot faster than I thought I would. The hills seem to go on forever but the scenery is outstanding. Sunny but with lots of mud, will certainly be doing more multi terrain after this event and will be back at Eastnor next year.

In short: For a first marathon it has everything you could want.
In full: Great spectators, well organised and a great day in general. Only downside was that being placed right at the back at the start I never managed to get the running pace I wanted.
