In short: Lovely race, relaxed, muddy - made me smile. Good marshalls
In full: The previous few days weather had made the terrain wet and muddy (thought I was going to loose a shoe at one point).

Course was a nice mix - especially as it was my first trail race.

The marshalls were great - lots of encouragement & warnings on boggy parts of the course.

Would definatelty do it again and think about the challenge.

In short: Good but could do with improvements
In full: There appeared to be a great deal of confusion at the event. On arriving at Blenheim (on foot) we found it difficult obtain any information and direction from the marshalls - not even knowing where the start line was.

The marshalls were reasonably good & the show ws a nice touch on such a hot day. However the marshalls didn't seem over enamoured towards the later stages in the race and infact at one point a rather large volunteer was happily blocking half of the pathway & smoking a large cigarette exhaling directly into the path of the runners. A number of people around me seemed to be equally afronted at his behaviour.

I was very disappointed at the medal - which was a generic BHF medal I would expect from any 10k run. I thought that they should at least have made an effort to mark the race.
