A fantastic local event.

Great atmosphere, well organised, challenging but rewarding, good selection at the aid stations, would definitely encourage others to enter.

Fabulous Race

Such a well organised race and the marshalling was the best ever , friendly and helpful. It’s a good start time as it enables competitors to be properly fuelled without getting up half way through the night , also allowing families to come along and support. The medals are beautifully designed and very pleasing that they were different from last years a lot of thought has gone into these. Another thing , to have a Piper to encourage you up Hardys hill is pretty special

Excellent Trail Running Event

A very well organised event with excellent support and all the marshals were superb. Every year we get to the end and say "that was tough and we can't do that again", but I know we will be back next year.

Amazing event from start to finish. Can’t fault it one bit. Marshals and aid station were brilliant.

A Brilliant Introduction to a Half Marathon

All the marshals were so helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere at the Rugby Club was great. The course was tough for a beginner but there was plenty of encouragement. The scenery was, of course absolutely beautiful. Altogether a great event.

outstanding

This is my third year and we travel from Norfolk and that says it all! Great atmosphere from other runners, marshals and every one running the aid stations! The views are second to none, the trails are amazing. The piper is an excellent touch. Thank you to all the runners, the Marshalls and all the volunteers

If you only do one half

I've done a few, the Hardy Half event is a standout favourite. The event start and finish location has the feelgood factors in abundance, atmosphere, great band, beer, pizza and a friendly and enthusiastic organising crew and
volunteers. Special touch, the twin tractors archway finish line. Had a brilliant day thanks all.

Fantastic views and fabulous organisation

Such a positive, friendly event! Marshals were amazing and all the extras like the rock choir and bagpipes were an added bonus. Atmosphere was buzzing at the finish and food was great. Definitely will be recommending to other runners!
