Täysmatka
Tosi mukava tapahtuma. Mäkinen maasto hirvitti etukäteen, mutta eipä se juuri menoa kuitenkaan hidastanut. Mukavia ihmisiä ja leppoisa tunnelma, suosittelen!

Polkujuoksijan puolikas
Mukavasti pystyi piennarta pitkin hölkyttään pitkiä pätkiä. Juomapaikat riittävän tiheästi. Ylämäet ei liian jyrkkiä, alamäet sopivan loivia "vauhdikkaaseen" menoon. Janajuoksu psygologisesti jotenki mukavampi. Taival tuntui lyhenevän joutuisasti. Maalialueella mukavan leppoisa tunnelma. Ens vuonna uudestaan...

Mahtavaa menoa rajapuomilta Ämmänsaareen
Lämminhenkinen juoksutapahtuma, ei tuntunut kilpailulta. Hyvä tsemppi juoksijoiden kesken ja toimiva huolto. Ensikertalainen selvisi hengissä ja yllättävän hyvällä ajalla mäkisestä maastosta huolimatta. Ehdottomasti ensi vuonna uudestaan.
