In short: Don't forget to call it 'Chestnut Tree House c 11k housing estate and coastal run' in 2012
In full: A good race with a great atmosphere. Lots of support. Flat with some wonderful views.
Why no age category break down?
Superb value. I only paid for 10k and got 11!!!

In short: Ouch! That was tough. A real mini Grizzly. A brilliant race.
In full: If you like mud, steep hills and plenty to trip you in a beautiful setting then you'll love this. Very well organised. Probably the best race in the world!

In short: Well organised but mixes with traffic too much
In full: Very well organised and marshalled but needs to be as the course crosses roads quite frequently. As a Dartmoor resident it doesn't take the most scenic route and mixes with traffic too often. Strangely the exit from the car park crosses the finishing straight making it difficult to leave. For the second year running I got mixed up with the signs showing the distance. Perhaps they could be colour coded. Nevertheless, it is clear that a lot has gone into this event. Well done!

In short: friendly, quite challenging but not too intimidating for novices, and well organised
