I ran. I now hurt. I did a personal worst, but I was expecting that after many months of lack of training. Oh well. I twas nice to see NBFS and running beer along the way. The percy pigs helped a lot at some points. |

Very enjoyable race, great scenery and a nice atmosphere. Didn't see a single fetch shirt all the way round though! |

Me too! I saw a couple of fetch tshirts and thanks for the fetchpoint it helped a lot! I scored a PB, knocking nearly 2 mins off which I'm chuffed about. T'was a bit narrow and congested at times, but enjoyed it.

Enjoyed it, but it did seem very congested - sometimes caused by people who didn't seem to know where they were going. Was almost taken-out (and now have a brusied foot) by somebody who lunged across the path of everybody to get to the sweets and caused a pile-up - was NOT HAPPY! Mind you a squirrel did the same to me at about 12.5 miles - it saw me and made a kamikaze dash across the path, thankfully I didn't tread on it but it was very close! But weather and atmosphere was great. |

I beat Fogle. And the cheeky gorls. McAndrew did me again though. I have never beaten her yet. |

I've got a question for the participants - I did it last year (it was a lot less to enter) - do people think it was worth the dosh this year?

It is expensive. But you do get a nice t-shirt. Don't know really, it costs about the same as any 'big city event'. I was happy to pay it. |

It is really expensive. I can't see myself entering next year if it's the same price.
