gcwenn A cracking local race over a challenging course. Well organised, a full goody bag with useful bits and pieces in there instead of the usual 12 flyers. Marshals were all encouraging and i am looking forward to next year already. Only gripe is that there is no secure baggage area. As i cycled across to the run i had a bag on my back that needed looking after, but some lovely ladies who worked in the kitchen looked after it for me. Poynton Runners 44:40 49:14 52:59 53.37

RunningBob It was clear that a lot off effort had gone into the organisation and it all paid off.  Tea and cakes at the finish and stuff that you could eat in the goody bag too.  As gcwenn said a basic bag store (just label bags with race number) would be good.  The radio thing was fun and I can only imagine it being even more popular next year.

There were an amazing number of marshals out on the course and plenty of well placed signs.  I noticed that they'd even fixed the bridge over into the Total Fitness field which was previously down to a single plank.

In road shoes some of the muddy paths were a bit hairy but that is the joy of MT and worked to my advantage.  I enjoyed the race and was pleased to finish a distant 2nd.  Has anyone seen any results or photos online?

The race entry was expensive for a local race with no prizes which is fair enough given the fund raising aims.  I think that it is important in this case to clearly report the money raised for the charity, if possible showing a breakdown of where the collected money goes either in total or as a pie chart of entry fee.

I suspect from the time that it was rather longer than 10k but that doesn't matter in a fun MT race like this. Wilmslow RC 33:01 34:18 37:00 77.67
