Kendal Mountain Festival 2023 adidas TERREX 10km Trail Run - what's it like? (very hilly & muddy!)

It was really fun to run a shorter, faster event at Kendal Mountain Festival this winter - the misty, drizzly and very muddy adidas TERREX 10km Trail Run was harder than an ultra in some ways! It was good to push the heart rate up high up all those slippery hills, and it was great to see so many people enjoying this hilly, off-road race from Kendal town centre and over the nearby Scar and golf course. Whoops! Since pushing myself in this race I've been ill with a cold and not done any running since, nearly a fortnight on, darnit! Must have worked harder than I thought, and then gone back to a germ-ridden toddler... a slight pause to my Arc of Attrition 50 training for the race at the end of Jan. I don't want a repeat of the Manx Mountain Marathon 50k DNF in April earlier this year so I'm totally resting until this has entirely left me this time. Definitely recommend this race, it's a nice, short, sharp blast around the hillsides before you get back into the festival and film-watching fray. THANKS! Thanks to Ourea Events for entry to this race. Their races are always super well organised and I always enjoy them, even the ones I can't complete... https://youtu.be/m6FlWTgbJeU Green Running info I went on the train to Kendal Mountain Festival, it takes much longer and is more expensive than going by car but you do have the advantage of being able to work on the train.
