Has anyone signed up for this event yet?
I understand it is a difficult event to organise, obtaining the necessary permits, marking the course the day before, lots of Marshalls spending upto 5 hours helping out.
It would be a pity if it were to cease, a real opportunity to run a difficult course in pleasant surroundings, with dare I say good company.

I'm going to download a form right now and fill it in!
Love this race , had some good times here and bad times but it's always been great.
Just need to shift this cold!
I shall be doing this one, it's been recommended by my running chums. Im doing the Paris Marathon too, so this will be good training. I've heard its as hard as a marathon with all the hills etc.

I'm seriously worried.
There is no doubt this is a challenging race, does it put some runners off?
A relay race is being considered for next year, to run along side the main event. 3 x 7 miles, or 4 x 5.5 miles, depending on appropriate change over points.
Would this get the numbers up, and ensure the event continues?
Thoughts, and comments, please.
I'm feeling a little better about my shin/ankle today, went to the gym to do light bike having done nothing since my 16 miler on Sunday. I did bike and core then having watched a few people use Powerplate machines I had a go - stretching and doing shin stretches whilst on it as it vibrates, I was skeptical given how these machines are sen as an easy way to fitness.
But to be brutally frank I can walk now without pain, it feels ten times better than before after just 30 mins. So I'll be off to the gym tomorrow and Sat then try my planned 18 miler Sunday.
Even then I feel now I could take on Milford whereas just a few days ago I was genuinely worried. I hate the desperation you get when injured , I worry that even if lucifer himself popped up and offered me injury free running I take it!
Couple of questions - can you help?
I'm intending to enter on the day on Sunday. Does anyone know what time registration needs to be completed by?
Also, in ligjht of the recent rain are we looking at usual trainers or trail shoes - is is time to bring back out the Innovates?
Cheers Rob
It does say normal shoes on the entry form though - is thisjust being weather optimistic?
Trail shoes it is then! Cheers, I was going to ask this.
Hi guys, hope you had fun in the mud today! I took a bunch of pics at the 17 mile point,
