Wasn't sure if this was going to go ahead as a result of Storm Darragh but, when I asked, the team responded fast to reassure me it was. Luckily Carsington seemed to escape the weather so it was generally pleasant conditions, a tad of rain and some wind but nothing major. The run is indeed undulating as others have said- I initially rated 3 stars because I found the course really challenging, but then figured this isn't the organiser's fault, just my personal preference!
170m elevation gain over the 13 miles but a lot of this is around mile 8, so it can be a tough finish. Quiet during the race too, no spectators and I had runners about 60m in front and behind me, so if you like a buzzing atmosphere it's not the one for you.
However, Carsington is stunning so if you want more of a challenge on a stunning course with some space and quiet to hear yourself think, definitely go for it.
Male, 34, finished 2h16m.
Well organised, plenty of very convenient parking. The route is superb and nice to have a circular route. Good access to amenities and refreshments. The only issue for me is that as the weather was so cold the water from the half way drink station was frozen and I couldn’t get a drink. But I thoroughly enjoyed the event.

Great run and organisation but be prepared for the hills down the one side. It had rained a lot prior to the run and trail shoes would have been better than the road shoes I had on. Quite tough but great location and very enjoyable.

Can’t fault the organisation or the volunteers that helped run the event. It was super friendly and a beautiful setting. The route itself is definitely testing, you no sooner finish a hill than you’re going up another one and there is next to no flat except for along the dam, at which pint you are battered by the wind. It’s not an easy route but an event well worth doing.
