2011 Endurancelife Coastal Trail Series: Stage 3 - Portland (Marathon, Half, 10K)

In short: A stunningly beautiful but hard Ultra.
In full: My first endurance life event and to be honest I was quite impressed with the organisational element. The setting for the event was good with decent amenities to hand, the staff where very helpful and friendly. The Ultra course was truly beautiful with amazing views along the Jurrasic coast, this took your mind off the brutality of the hills (6289ft of ascent in total along the 34 mile course. Fortunetly I was self supported along the route as Endurance Life do not provide very much at their check points, water and a few nutritional items: I am sure they will be heavily criticised for this as this will have caught a few people out. All in all a cracking day out, expensive but worth it in my opinion.

In full: A great event again this year, the weather was better than last year; Sun always a bonus in October. The event was better organised this year with a much improved medal at the finish. All in all a cracking event.

In short: A great introduction to the world of the Ultra run.
In full: Being my first ultra I was apprehensive to say the least, however I need'nt have been. The organisation of this event was first class, coaches from Nottingham centre to the start, maps provided, a great route with some challenging undulations, friendly marshalls with nice goodies at check points. The finish was great with lots of support to encourage you up the hill to the finish. The medal provided is a great momento as is the Ultra race top included in the entry fee. Overall I think the Ultra race team did a great job and I will definetely be back next year.

In short: Great race in a beautiful forest setting!
In full: I got to the line with just minutes to go so missed out on the toilet issues that others seem to have had. The car parking seemed to be well organised with ample parking not too far from the start. The course and marshalling along it where second to non, gorgeous scenery (being the New Forest)very supportive and encouraging marshalls. I had a great day overall and would highly recommend this race.

In full: Lots of nice touches from the town cryer and starting gun (well rather load guns!!) to the morris dancers and band at just over half way and cakes at the finish made this a great way to start a Sunday. Great organisation, friendly marshalls and fellow runners. If you can make this a date in your diary do!
