Beautiful route, cross country but not too challenging. Extremely friendly and supportive for all levels, you can go at your own pace, no pressure!

Difficult because hills are inevitable but I think beginners would struggle from the outset, maybe add a 5k or 7k to choices.

Great event, done this 5 times now...

Fantastic, friendly, well organised event.

I was a little worried about doing the run as only ever done a trail run once before. I am so glad I did it. It was a fantastic event, friendly people, well organised, marshals covering the course so you couldn’t get lost and giving encouragement. Great course, with stunning views. Tea, coffee, mulled wine, bacon rolls was such a nice added touch at the end. Sunny weather was also a bonus!

Thank you for arranging one of the most beautiful atmospheric runs I have done. Everyone was so friendly and the tea, mince pies, mulled wine and bacon baps at the end were excellent. Big thank you to everyone that made it happen.

Very friendly and nicely run event, in beautiful countryside. Despite having to postpone for a week due to high winds, it still ran very smoothly
