Truth is I wouldn’t do this unless you have a spring marathon coming up. However there are many reasons why it’s a great marathon build up race. Testing, hard course up plenty of hills. The laps make it mentally testing and the support is next to nothing apart from by the relay point. So this helps train you mentally. Water stations were regular however roads were not closed so on narrow country lanes we were dodging cars, vans and the odd tractor. Not a huge problem but not ideal. A souvenir T-shirt was basic with sponsors on but for only £16 it was good value really. A good event for marathon training.
