This was the 1st time doing a maverick event, info was emailed pre event & you collected number on the day, I had booked in for the long event (21k) & they checked to see if you still wanted to do the distance, & you could decide at any of the race split points to drop down a distance, which I really liked. I'd recently been diagnosed with anaemia & didn't know if I had a half marathon in me.
The race briefing was good & everyone started to together which was great for the 1st 1k however, being this was an event you could also bring your dog & there was quite a few, didn't work well. I nearly got tripped over several times by dogs & leads, it would have been better if the dogs had started started first, as at 2k we came to a completed stop & the dogs were getting stressed out, this part could of done with a Marshall as it was single file & very narrow.
After this point we all spread out & you could run, & there was LOADS OF MUD! (I love mud)
The medal was great & a bottle of beer.
I wouldn't do this event again, but would do a maverick event again.
