I put my name in for my club team not realising quite how mad this event is! Just wondering if any other forumites are doing a leg? I am on leg 5 which finishes at Ebley Mill, Stroud - thats if I don't get lost! Which I probably will!
If anyone is doing the leg which finishes at the Old Spot car park in Dursley its a great pub!!

Great fun race though - you can try to lose your competitors if they start to follow you and you know there's a sharp turn coming up...
How long did leg 5 take you Shoelace?
BTW, I think I got round in about an hour and a half last year. Should be able to beat that this year now that I know the way!
Otherwise, I will just enjoy the beautiful Cotswold views!!
I'm thrilled to have finished in 1:53; only got tiny bit lost towards end couldn't work out how to get accross to canal so came in on main road and entered Ebley Mill from wrong side!! Organisers v understanding!!
Wasn't it hot?!
I love the CWR because you never know which direction to look for incoming runners. The two of you announcing your arrival to the startled-looking officials was hilarious.
I was really pleased with my run. Thought I'd gone off too fast cos I was up with the leaders for about the first mile. Managed to get into 3rd place by the top of the hill and then ran scared all the way to the finish. Ended up in 1.21 so about 6 mins faster than last year - makes a difference when you know where you're going.
Still buzzing from the day - I love it!
That is so funny that I was running with your wife for those last miles!! It was great to meet her!
