My first ever trail marathon (I added an extra mile on at the end to make up the full marathon distance). A fantastic event that is incredibly good value for money, at the £5 entry fee - this really does put the cost of other events into perspective! The course is an excellent mix of town, road, Salisbury plain, mud, villages, hills and trails through some of Wiltshire's finest countryside. The checkpoints at roughly every 5km were a welcome site, particularly towards the end. The only slight negative is the signup process, which is still done via a paper entry that has to be posted to the organisers. If this could be modernised, even so it was emailed rather than posted, then I think the event would be much easier to enter. But other than this, it was a fantastic event and great fun - It's sure to be something I do again in the future!
