"My first time competing in this race but this will certainly be one of my "must-do" races every year from now on. It's described as tough and several runners I know rated this race as amongst the most challenging. The course is excellent, varied terrain and really enjoyable."

In short: 

"If you can get through this, you can do almost anything"

"There's one bastid of a hill after 5 or 6 miles where you go knee deep in mud which pulls your trainers off, and which seems to go on for miles, then there's the long haul back to the start when that's finished...."


"It's tough, slippery but a real challenge and a great sense of achievement in finishing"

"The wind against you on the sea wall makes this a very tough race, if not one of the lead runners, the clawing mud on the hills pull your feet down new muscles ache. But when you near the end, you begin to feel the buzz of beating the conditions. Excellent"

"A superb race, with good weather (for once), and I managed to stay upright throughout. My feet were mostly dry at the finish, which was abnormal... I've finished this race eight times, and fully expect to be back again in 2006. Come on, Runner's World - this is a must for your top 100 races!"

"My legs hurt, my feet are blistered and I felt sick at the end. But I finished and it was great. I will be back next year to beat my time. A race worth running"

"This had some of the best organisation I have come across, well marked and excellent marshalls, I will without doubt be back next year, One tip wear fell shoes or something with an aggressive grip. Thanks very much to all those who made this such a pleasure to run"

"A mud fest - very well marshalled"
