In short: hard work but worth it
In full: cracking scenery and challenging in places, the first 18 miles sailed by for me, probably due to navigating. i think my brain went a bit mushy after that and I had to really pay attention to the directions.
Overall, a highly recommended race and one that you should definitely look to try out

In short: third time i've run it, and i'm sure it gets better every year
In full: congrats to Dr Rob and the Roblets for sorting out another highly enjoyable jaunt up and down (and up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down) and all around Box Hill.
I've run it for the last three years, and I'll be back next year!
happy new year and god bless,
the first nun home

2011 Trionium Greensand Marathon

In short: another great trionium event - never fail to impress
In full: I am still finding stairs a little tough to walk down, two days after finishing.
Great atmosphere, friendly runners, and a cut off time to get you thinking about running the first quarter at a fair pace.
I ran up most of the hills on the out, but walked up pretty much anything that looked like an incline on the way back - unless there were people watching!

In full: this was my 2nd race of 2011 - the first being the knacker cracker the day before.
despite aching in all sorts of new places at the start, I was only 5 mins outside of my 10m PB.
very well organised, and definitely a race that I'll be coming to again and again

2010 The Three Molehills
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: lovely hills
In full: fairly long ascents - the first hill is the shortest but also the steepest.
This race combines sections of three other local races - the Knacker Cracker, Fetcham Fire station 10k and the Bookham 10k.
I really enjoyed it, and a lovely lady told me that i was third in the 15 mile race which spurred me on up the final hill.
remember - you might be a bit slower going up the hill, but you can be faster coming down. it's like a little free speed boost.
highly recommended, even though it was FREEZING

In short: excellent organisation and a great course
In full: i managed a PB, despite some serious drinking the day before, so this has to be a quick course!
the organisation can't be faulted and it is a very friendly local race.
excellent effort, firemen of Fetcham
