A very challenging course with about 15 major mud areas and 4 big hills. If you like it tough then this is for you. Race signage is close to poor with runners stopping to work out which way. Far too few marshals for such a long HM route.

The course was tough due to the mud! A 3rd fuel station at 9/10 miles would have been good. Lovely medals

This is a tough hill course, I assumed being around a reservoir it would be flat, how wrong I was! It was extremely muddy in sections, trail shoes would have been better. The event was well organised and the atmosphere was brilliant.

Enjoyed the 1/2 marathon but I just love running. Although I would like to make a few points; Not enough watering stations, PLASTIC cups being given out where their was water stations with limited bins. The medal (a bottle opener?) was poor and NO T-Shirt!
