Bradley Crouch reports on the inaugural running of this.........
The May Hill Massacre was run last Sunday for the first time and what a brilliant effort from race organizers. So good is this race I will be placing it firmly on my calendar for next year (definitely in my top five races).
The May Hill Massacre is mainly off-road, with a slight hill to climb and heaps of glorious mud... Fortunately I had a pair of Adidas Swoops which where able to cut right through the mud allowing my feet landed firmly on the ground without slipping (I really, really recommend these shoes).
There were just over 350 runners on the day, I managed a 20th position (1:06:05) with the aid of my new shoes! Phil Howells came back 186th position (1:24:31). Winning time was 57:03.
