In short: An 'event' rather than a 'race'.
In full: Couldn't run under orders of the physio but turned up to support friends. Great 'village', lots going on and great organisation. Got my goodie bag and t-shirt despite not running. Good feedback from friends who ran, although more like hard packed vehicle tracks than proper trails, and as someone who does a lot of off-road stuff I wouldn't really consider this race as giving beginners a taste of proper 'trail running'.

In short: All been said before, shame it had to be shortnened!
In full: Stayed the whole weekend at Sandy Balls so ideal to wake up and only have a short walk to the start. Nice route, killer hills and quite an above average field of runners. Great marshalling and organisation. Be back next year for the entire weekend.

In short: Hot but fantastic race for a relative trail newcomer. Highly recommended, will be there next year!
