Great event, even though, I too had to walk for the first time ever in a race!. Going up that hill was a bit tough the first time but going up the second time towards the finish made this the hardest race I've ever done. Marathons and Half Marathons will seem easier after this.
If you ever hold this event again count me in. That was my first trail race despite the shock I loved it. Plus the medal is a good quality one and the mug was a nice touch. If anyone missed this, all I can say is if you get the opportunity to do this in the future, do it. It's worth the effort.
Thanks everyone for all the great feedback
hearing how much you all enjoyed Delamere forest "MIDWEEK MADNESS" 10k makes all the hard work worthwhile
Please dont forget to check out our other events (there not all as tough as this one!) on our website www.bugruns.org.uk

My first trail run so hills were a complete killer but loved running through the forest and really enjoyed the evening, a well organised event - will be back for another go next year.
Thanks
Dawn
Great to hear you enjoyed it Dawn.
Thanks again for all your hard work Mark!
Hi Mark,
Please can you give me a buzz when you are free so we can arrange to meet up?
Thanks, Rich @ Active
A note for those contemplating trail runs in the future , I can assure you that they are not all as hard as this.
After completing this you can consider yourself an "expert" and relate your experiences to your kids or grandchildren in the future,
" I was there ! "
Was a bit shorter than im used to but good for a bit of a change i like delamere and the event was good!
I got 186m of elevation for the course with garmin http://connect.garmin.com/activity/107353713. i have the elevation corrections enabled so it should be pretty accurate....? 41.20 for me started a bit slow but im used to ultra paced runs... i have done 2 39.03 10ks on the roads recently with a few ups and downs so i wouldn't call it a good course for a pb ; )
anyone fancying something a little more extreme with some more hills and mud there is hell runner the 10th and 11th of september in delamere forest too!

Hi Mark
Really enjoyed the race; it was my first attempt at a 10k so cut my teeth at the hard end I think/hope! that first hill was so tough, but when the Marshall pointed me back up it at 5 miles.......! gonna do a flat one next for a PB and get some hills into my legs for next years delamere run?
Loved the medal and mug but think I earned a t shirt
thanks for arranging it and all the you effort put in, night race sounds good..
Ian, to do the delamere as your first 10k... fantastic.
you could knock loads off for a flat 10k
i've done quite a few races in delemere and this was the best course so far. i would have enjoyed it more if i hadnt torn my calf on the first accent of pale heights. was able to complete the race but could have done without the second visit to the viewpoint. now paying the price for running on the injured leg.
would love a night race but delemere may have too many trip hazards.
it's worth going to watch hellrunner if you dont fancy competing. i was at the "bog of doom" last year. it was very entertaining.Hi Mark,
Are you free for a catch up? Thanks, Rich @ Active
