As Jovi said Rog, no specific training required if you are keeping going from a spring mara. I've done team of 8 and pairs with that approach. In as a pair again this year, can't wait, it is the dogs!

Varied really, mud, grass, hills and flats, quite a bit through woodland, some of which has lots of roots to navigate. It's a really nice route, gets brilliantly muddy in biblical rain however

Really depends on the weather beforehand Rog. It's been a mudfest some years and dry as a bone others.
This will be my 6th year. 8's x 1, 5's x 1 + 3 x solo previously. Solo again.

RogT - not a super fast team (we had from 48 min to 60 min people). What our team has is consistency though - we didnt really slow our average pace for each person so as others faded we just kept plodding on. Being able to keep going at a steady pace during the nighttime laps is the key we find. We always fly up the rankings between teatime Saturday and early doors Sunday! Our team (which has changed a bit over the years but there is a core 3 of 5 done each one) came second the first year we did it - we've continued to keep the same pace but the competition has got stronger over the years! We usually now finish just inside or just outside the top 10.
