2011 North Dorset Village Marathon
 | | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In short: Pigs might fly!
In full: A well organized race with great support and i'm sure the drinks stations were getting closer together at the end when you really need them. At the finish you got a nice technical tshirt and a 'flying pig' medal. There are a few hills but I still managed a PB. Ample parking next to the start.

In short: Great race with fantastic scenery and weather!
In full: Stunning area to run and tough in places. I missed my target by six seconds so I might just have to do it again next year (Maybe with a few less beers on the campsite the night before. Mind you, even the strongest beer goggles wouldn't do anyting for those naked dudes!) Great race.

In short: Like a mini Terminator
In full: I knew about the hill because I cycle up the road route. But I didn't know they would find an even steeper ascent (twice). Plenty of mud and a nice tshirt too. Spot on, lets hope it's on again next year.

In short: A good honest race with some tough hills for a flat course.
In full: A special thanks to the "a bit mental" marshals at the bottom of the hill for keeping me smiling when I really should have been crying. With a nice tech t-shirt in the goodie bag this was a good value for money race and well done to the organisers, who had to change the course the day before the race. I don't know what was harder mind, the 30 miles or the cold showers at the end.

In short: Nice end of year off roader.
In full: Second time I've run this event and got a 10k PB. A really nice course which will bring me back every year. No problems leaving, we just followed the exit signs.
