In short: a challenge well worth the effort
In full: Most friendly mix of people I have ever had the pleasure to run/walk with. Agree with the other comments that you have to closely follow the directions or be prepared to cover a few extra km's! Everyone involved in the staging of the event deserves a big thank you - and those were the best biscuits and drinks I've ever had at a checkpoint! Scenery was stunning, the mud and hills challenging but definitely an event to add to your must-do's. Sadly I had to pull out at the 25 mile mark due to my dodgy knee- but I wouldn't have made it that far without the support of the great group I fell in with about the 20 mile mark.A great intro to an ultra length event...

In short: mud..OK, obstacles...not so bad..but the hills!!!!
In full: Great way to spend a chilly, slightly damp Saturday morning.Positive that there were more uphills than downhills and overnight rain meant that it was extra muddy and slippery especially on the downhills. Really recommend a pair of trail shoes- mine meant I was able to stay up on my feet and even hit the slippery slopes at a (slow!)run- others in road shoes really struggled on the muddy hills. Great atmosphere and a real challenge. Must sign up for next March....

In short: friendly atmosphere, great marshalls,plentiful drink staions, beautiful scenery- what more do you need?
In full: This is my second Windsor Half ( it's my local training ground, lucky me!) so no hassles with parking, etc as I pretty much live next door. Expensive yes, but in aid of worthy charities so really if you are only runnning for the goody bag, best off save the entry fee, and go out and buy your own! You get what you need at the end of the race- cheers from the onlookers, a medal, drink and a mars bar.Drink stations frequent and always some had sports drinks available for mid field runners like myself. I have run in too many races where I am lucky if there happens to be water left, let alone sports drinks!A pleasant run, friendly atmosphere with loads of encouraging marshalls and raising money for charity to boot.And those hills? Try a few runs around Sydney and then talk to me about hills....
