Excellent challenge. A well organised event that is a challenge for all abilities
My longest run that took me through bluebell woods and wild garlic, up and down the Downs with wonderful scenery, through Avebury and along the ancient Ridgeway. So some soft ground, chalky Downs and hard packed trail. A little on road.
Commemorate mugs rather than a medal. I will return to better my time in future. Recommended.
