In short: A challenging but excellent course! In full: This was my second Half and my first off-road, and it was just the sort of challenge I was after! :) The terrain is tough and there are a few narrow sections, as well as some slippery parts due to the rain over previous days, but this never stopped me maintaining my pace. The route was incredibly scenic - made even better by the weather - and the atmosphere created by other participants, race officials and spectators alike was great. The organisation before, during and after was brilliant, and the marshals on route were first class, offering guidenace and encouragement.
I'd definately recommend this event to runners of all abilities, for the challenge but also for the fun! :) Date of review: November 27, 2012
