A few words from Ruth incase you're pondering this one for next year: "Really enjoyed Exterminator (surprisingly!). Wonderful route from Totley to Hathersage via Stanage and back through Longshaw, so no road running at all. Lots of clambering up and down rocks and very nearly stood in a dead sheep - v smelly! It was great to see Dot and Olivia at Hathersage, which is just about half way.

Very pleased with my time of just under 3:18. Would have been even faster had I not been in the portaloo when they started the race. This resulted in me legging it round the field trying to catch everyone up whilst hoiking my trousers up and trying to attach my bum bag and coat - much to the amusement of marshalls!"
