In short: Hills , hills & more hills !!
In full: Fantastic run !!
Very tough , relentless hills ,But incredible views !
Lots of water & jellie babies .
I would have liked more mile markers as I easily lose track !
Plenty of support from all the walkers up in the Downs !
Beware the crazy mountain bikers !!
The weather was a lovely surprise & caused sunburn !!
Hope to be back to run again next year !

In short: Mud Fest ..... cold , rain, hills, more hills , totally BRILLIANT !!!
In full: My first off road half marathon .I was ready for a challenge and boy did this race deliver !!
I took it easy ,and enjoyed some of the best ever support from fellow runners .
The route was stunning,as a local i'm used to running on the Down's but i've never run so far and never seen so much mud !!
It was well organised , fantastic water stations ,encouraging marshalls who braved horrendous conditions.
The last 2 miles i could have done with some poles as i more or less slid back down the hill !!
Loved it and i'm definately doing more off road running !!

Cones a pain, start and finish too crowded , loved that I beat Katie price ! !!
