"As last year this was a fabulously well organised race, thank you to all involved. Great course that actually wasn’t as bad as I remembered!, not sure if that’s good or bad or I just tried to wipe it from memory! See you next year! "
Lee

"Thank you for a well organised event, I have to take my hat off to the marshals, everyone of them were so encouraging, not sure of the promise of down hills to then quickly be back on up hills, lol. Got a PB and it was a fantastic atmosphere."
Karenanne

"Well done, Anita- and huge thanks to all the Marshals en route. This one is definitely going in my race calendar for next year. Brilliant event, great medal, shame about the hill"
Erin

"My first time yesterday and I loved it too! The marshalls were brilliant - so friendly and motivating . The route was beautiful but challenging , I was really impressed that you had gone to the effort of spraying the rooty parts of the path through the woods it meant i didn't have to take my sunnies off to see. Thank you all"
Tracey
