Have ran this today as my 1st trail race. A tough, really muddy in places course. Previous posters were right about the hills as well. A good day that was really well marshalled and a bargain £4 to enter.
Have to agree Steven, a tough event this was. That 400m (approx) of mud was a killer, really took it out of me, and doing it twice.....! Was a bit gutted with my time at first, but on reflection happy with the effort. Shall know what's to come next year.
I'm on my way back from injury so was using todays race as a training run. You're right Pete that mud was a killer the 1st time round and knowing you had to do it again. Would definately do it again though.
Was that the mud as you came up out of the woodland section uphill through a field? Killer indeed - did the race last year and it felt like as much effort as you put in, you just weren't going anywhere - like running on the spot but through treacle...

Tough little run this - more like cross country than road running.
That's me decided then. I am definitely going to do this one. Will be nice to do something different
So how does this compare with Parbold Hill Race
