In short: Splendid race
In full: Good outing, with a mix of terrain. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I was going to mark down the PB potential, but I guess I now have a best for the classic 6.75 mile distance. Beautiful crisp cool day, that road climb was nothing but a nuisance though!

2007 Yorkshireman Off Road Marathon
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 40% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: You'll probably already know if you want to do this
In full: It's in Yorkshire! It's a marathon! It's offroad! The title tells you a lot of what you need to know. Strangely enough, they haven't gone out of their way to make it crazyhard. Lots of welcome contouring making up the distance and a real variety of terrain - moorland, rocks, roots, grassland, hardpack trails, cowfields, and a (very little) road. Nice course. A recce/study of the map/knowledgeable person to follow would all help. I don't know what people are complaining about - I've got a new PB for the distance :)
