Having run this race last year I remembered it being very tough but enjoyable so as soon as this year's entry was open I didn't hesitate to sign up.  A very challenging 13.7 miles of hills, mud, trails and road.  It was good to see so many CRC runners at the event.  There was a good selection of cakes and refreshments at the end and a champagne flute memento to remember the event which will sit nicely with with last year's glass.  Highly recommended.
