In short: Hellrunner has gone soft, shorter, easier, more Helwalk than run.
In full: good fun, but shorter than 10miles (disappointing seeing it's advertised as 11ish). Water levels in bogs are lower than previous years. Too many bottle necks with so many runners doing it, you have no option but to walk. Good one to do if you want to dip your toe into something different and is challenge but if you're looking for a tougher challenge look elsewhere. Can't fault the organisers all great.
BUT Man Up Hellrunner... It's meant to be HELL!

In short: Great first race few things could make it even better.
In full: Traffic entering the stadium was an issue and organisers delayed race. Lots of marshalls and very helpful with stopping traffic but some very quiet and would have been nice to have the odd not shout from them. However crowds made up for that and plenty of people lined the streets with claps and cheers, some even played music. Route was ok, could have been better seeing that Oxford is so beautiful!
Great to finish in the football stadium and lots of stalls to look at afterwards. Will do it again next year.

In short: Great aquathlon loved the support, course and pool!
In full: however be wary of the 5K for 2010 the course seemed a little short - times are alot better than they should be. Hopefully for 2011 it will be 5KM!
