Probally a bit tougher than the Slog . The slog has long up and down hills . The Milland has a lot of short - leg strength sapping - sharp hills . It's a lot more varied than the Slog as Well.
Run it and see what you think .

As for the heat - I remember most of it being in the shade and through woodland.
There are 2 hills but you can run up them. Not like 'The Grizzly'.
Don't have a half marathon PB or anything like that, so not too worried about time. But I am ridiculously competitive ...
Might cycle there - how far is Liss from West Wittering, if anyone knows?

There's some half-arsed bus service running from winchmore hill station, which would take an hour and 3/4 to get to waterloo - and of course, I've got to get all the way back again while knackered. But thanks anyway matey and sorry about the rant!! I think I'm going to have to miss it, which is a shame as it's a bloody brilliant trail race - in my all-time top 10.
Who's ready and raring to go for Sunday???
should be nice weather, not too dusty.
I am marathon training so running from my home to the race start !!!
see you sunday.
be my third outing and in mara training so hopefully should go ok
Just asking because I am from the Midhurst Milers (of Midhurst 10K fame) and the race is organised by Liss Runners.
Both clubs are within a couple of miles of Milland and are reasonably welcoming to new members!
thanks

Looking forward to this as part of my mara training, not worried about a PB but want to enjoy the hilly course.
Look forward to meeting some of you on day.
I am entering on the day, you can at this race. Not sure what the limit is. I heard that numbers are up on last year so might be worth getting there early. Give the organiser a call?
Sounds like this one is my cup of tea, lots of hills and half marathon distance.
As you are local, are you doing the Midhurst 10K the following week?
I'd like to, but it clashes with a family holiday so unfortunately can't.
Typical,coz I've been offered so many entry forms for it !!
Theres even some on our works notice board, (Forestry Commission) put there by Alison kirrage who's working with us for a while.
I think every runner in the country has been offered an entry form for Midhurst in the last six months.
It is working because we are looking at record numbers this year!
Glad to hear Alison is not letting work get in the way of the serious business of race organisation.
Better not leave a form on your car at Milland!
I might not be singing your praises when I cant get out of bed tomorrow morning though ;-)
Its a real killer but what stunning scenery !!
Will be back next year for another go.
Finished in 1hr46min8sec which I was happy with, but I don't go downhill very fast, especially on the squidgy bits (about a thousand people overtook me on the wooded downhill bit near the beginning).

A great big thank you to all the runners , helpers , marshals , St.John Ambulance Crew , Milland Sports Pavilion committee .
As always what a friendly crowd you all are , which makes a great day of running . There is always a great atmosphere .
Any comments gratefully received esp. on momentos . Are runners happy to get medals or should we think of something else ? Results : I'm ploughing through them at the moment and we are hoping to have them up on the website by the end of Wednesday , time permitting . Web site address www.liss-runners.org.uk.
See you at Midhurst on Sunday all those doing the 10km.
Thanks again.
Tom.
Mugs are naff and in my house usually end up getting broken.
Thanks again for a great event. :-)
Who are Hoff Harriers?? never heard of them but they had huge support on the course.
Good organisation to have four water stations at a trail race.
PB for me, having never run further than 10k before!
Great race and the views were well worth the 12 miles of uphills and 1 mile down!
Thanks for the support people.
