‘This is an epic race – a true pre-season sharpener and great to kick start the season. It also uses the 8 mile Olympic cycling route round Box Hill – the same loop we often use on our Surrey Hills club rides. It was my second time racing the Spring version (for those with slightly more sanity – there is also an option to do it in November!). 
It’s hard work but very doable at any level because you do the same 8 mile loop 5 times – on two wheels and on two feet… Human race always put on a good show and the free hoodie is worth every penny! Definitely recommend it to all of you. My only advice is to save something- or at least a gel – for that final run lap – it hurts a lot ….’
