Bambi on ice

Today's weather was challenging which had nothing to do with the organisers. I need to invest in trail shoes for any return visit as this was my first and I was worried about sunburn when I entered some weeks back. Great day though, runners supporting each other all the way round, friendly and generally very wet marshalls guiding the way. One that will remain in the memory for a good while, give it a go next year!!

Multi-terrain for a decent distance in stunning scenery

Superbly organised tough course (the hills at the end!) which never seems crowded even in the middle of the pack. Good range of terrain on a twisting flat route for most of the course demands stamina with the hills on road at the end. I always enjoy it and thoroughly recommend the race.

One of the best races in the calendar

Friendly and well organised run. Cake, beer and a brass band at the finish. Wonderful.

Really friendly event with excellent cake!

The weather made it incredibly tough and I really wished I had trail shoes. You can’t help the weather, but it was very slippery. Maybe suggest trail shoes are recommended at the point of entry? Definitely needs to be highlighted.
But excellent marshalling, so many helpers! Everyone was really friendly and I really felt for them being stuck in the rain. The cake was fabulous!

Great event.

A lot of fun

Great fun, wet muddy day, where trail shoes as i found out wearing my road shoes, took a lot of tumbles! Although that added to the fun coming back covered in mud.
See you next year.

Bewl 15 delivers again

This is a fantastic event - always well organised, with a stunning route, plenty of friendly and encouraging marshals and sufficient water stations. The atmosphere is upbeat and there is a buzz at both the start and finish (where beer and plenty of delicious cakes were on offer.) It was also a fundraiser for KSS who were present so it was good to help contribute to this deserving cause. The weather was not great this year and the route was slippery in many places but this did not detract from a splendid event.

Good

Pity about the weather! It was more slippery than some cross country runs I've done!

Hard but fun!

You can't plan for the rain, but such a well organised and well supported race. As a local it makes me very proud to take part and see so many people coming into the village! Great work Waddies!

Fantastic event with a route that has a bit of everything!

Would have been really nice if the end of the race and the brass band could have been located nearer to each other for a better race finish atmosphere but I'm not sure how you could achieve this without moving the finish
