Felt quite dangerous in places as very icy, could have done with asking for some grit to be put down on the worst patches rather than just telling us to run slower. Could have done with a better way of splitting the 2 mile and 5mile run up as those who didn't know the route could easily have run the wrong way.

Course is challenging but enjoyable. This year was a wet and muddy one. Really more like cross-country. Great venue.

I think the 'end' was a little confusing - the two people I came with finished 20 minutes after me but apparently came in 80 places before me! - maybe the finish line wasn't quite as obvious as it should have been, at the 5k mark...

Caught the end of the cold snap so was great it was still on.. Did the 5 mile so had a great time and no dramas. There were people taking official photos I think but have not managed to find them online.
