Noel reports on the race:

The course was 90% off road. Weather conditions were fair but conditions underfoot were less so with no shortage of mud and a couple of flooded paths. Following the written instructions was reasonably easy but navigation suffered as the field thinned out and tiredness set in. I wasn't the only one to run an extra half mile, in my case towards the end when I came across a road that wasn't in the instructions, but that was part of the fun of the event. Great camaraderie between competitors and the tea, coffee and fig rolls at the checkpoints were appreciated. A little more interesting than the run of the mill road marathon and highly recommended for mud larks.
