In short: 6th year in a row for me - it's fair to say I'm a fan!
In full: What keeps me coming back every year, driving 2+ hours to spend a Sunday morning getting covered in mud? The challenge, the fun, the mud, the atmosphere, the organisation, the two-minute silence, the Last Post, the friends, the post-race pizza, the general feeling of being properly alive.

In short: My favourite - 4th consecutive year and not the last. A shining example of what a race should be.
In full: What's not to like? Mud, water, a bit of running, great spirit and banter between all the competitors, superb organisation and unbeatable value. A brilliant race AND a long-sleeved t-shirt AND a goody bag mainly composed of edible things? Bargain. I'll be back for my number 5 next year.

In short: My hardest marathon, my slowest marathon... but I've done it twice and will do it again. The sense of achievement at the end beats any other race I've done.

In short: Superb organisation, fun course, cracking day out. I can't believe it was only £10 given the long-sleeved top and the goody bag.

In short: Hot, hilly, but great fun and excellent organisation. Never seen so many water stops on a short race!
