In full: A good XC & rural road run, with the majority as a very heavy going XC! You get to run round the walls of an ancient Roman city, through a ford and across some very muddy fields. The rain this year made avoiding mud and puddles unavoidable and a large amount of the course was slick ankle-deep mud :) Not a pb course by any means but a good scenic run in the country to blow away Christmas calories - and then put some back on with the lovely touch of mince pies and mulled wine for the finishers. The last mile was deceptively hard, the sight of the finish line taunting you as leaden feet struggle across the cloying mud of the final 2 fields. A good atmosphere there and a well organised event, but the conditions underfoot may well deter the average pavement-pounder looking for a first time XC run of a decent length.
