In full: I've never seen such mud! As a slow-y at the back of the 10k pack it was deep and slippy, and really slowed me down. Wouldn't recommend for beginners purely for that reason, a little bit demoralising BUT marshalls etc all brilliant, great day out!

In short: fast!
In full: As a slower runner and first time marathoner it was a bit lonely after 5 hours - numbers dropped at the back as did support in some areas, HOWEVER this is to be expected with a relatively new race, and is no reflection on the organisation or the volunteers! The hill at 18 miles seemed to come as as a shock to a lot of people, only the truly hardy were running up it, but what's a challenge if it isn't challenging?!
Overall I enjoyed, organisation was great, and hopefully slower runners will be encouraged to sign up for there is surely power in numbers!
