Missed it this year, but next year I'll either run the 5 miles or marshall.

Christ, that was tough. I finished in 2:56, 10 minutes slower than my PB. Did everyone get poleaxed by that wind at around 8 miles or did I just not run fast enough?

Somehow I finished slower than last year even though last year I ended up run-walking. I took five minutes longer to get up the hill than last year and never got that time back. Beautiful day and pleased to have finished without stopping. Just annoyed that I can't justify to myself why I couldn't beat last year's time.

i was 10 minutes outside my PB, but that was on a faster course. I reckon the wind cost about 5 minutes!

My brother has suggested doing this race (for his birthday weekend). Just found this thread and reading through it sounds like a fantastic event. Looking at the entries, it also looks like a great opportunity for a Fetch meet-up. What more could I want? I'm persuaded!

It is 30KM these days, I presume to avoid the loops we used to do in the town

Saint - it looks as if there is still a “warm up” run round the town to start, but they have removed the detour into Elan Village near the end and the out and back section (and possibly a road crossing) so that the run back in to Rhayader goes straight in along the “main” (actually pretty minor) road.

I'll be there. In one capacity or another. (Not the full 30k, though!)

Just looked at the elevation profile on Fetch and the course seems like a big hill until mile 5 then...
