Did it last year, well organised event.

You should be fine on a hardtail, I did it on singlespeed, there's a long flat stretch on the Downs Link in the middle where I suffered with a low gearing. It's mainly gravelled paths with a few stretches of road and a couple of pieces of nice singletrack.

As above - for fast time a tall geared xc bike would be the best, but it's not technical in the least, so would be good for all types to have a go...
