Awesome event in every way

The organisers really put their heart and soul into this event. The atmosphere, scenery, support, venue and motivation is first class.

Your usual fantastic H & T event!

Had a great time at this event. The set up and everything was faultless as usual and the organisers and helpers are very friendly and make you feel right at home from beginners to the more experienced. A great event for those looking to beat their PB over distance or just try something new.

Brilliant event

Superb organisation, encouragement, crew, selection of food and drink on offer throughout. Just a shame it wasn't better supported by people running. It's an ideal entry level event, or a great event if you want to increase you're distance pb or gain and get lots of "time on feet"

Great race - everything you could want from a 24hr

The race team were, as always, very friendly and helpful. They had thought of everything to ensure the event went smoothly. Was generously catered for.

Brilliant Event

It was so well organised and friendly and lots of support. We all got fed very well and supplied with drinks and sweets etc as well.

Loved the event and will hopefully return next year.

Amazing First Ultra Run

Amazing organisation, support & encouragement, clean facilities, amazing and delicious food, plentiful hydration, friendly and supportive fellow participants and a super medal! What more to say but thanks to everyone involved for making my first ever Ultra Marathon an amazing experience Thank you all.

This was a very welcoming event. It didn't have any of the intimidating bravado that can sometimes (unintentionally) become attached to some of these endurance events

A very friendly and welcoming event. It was welcoming to, and supportive of, all abilities.

My first Outrun!

This was my first time participating in anything like this and wasn’t sure what to expect. I needn’t have worried. The organisers were friendly and very supportive. At no time was I treated like a rookie. There was nothing more they could have done.
The medal, alone, we got for entering was worth it but, for winning our category, we got the most awesome piece of original “Running Art”. That was the cherry on the cake!

Friendly supportive event with a real personal touch you don't get at mass events.

Can the grass be racked next time?!

Excellent event

Hare & Tortoise always know how to put on a good show. Great event organised by lovely people and taking part with crazy like minded people. Would highly recommend any event organised by Hare & Tortoise. Outrun 24 had great views, it was tough in places but fellow runners definitely keep you going, especially during the night time part. Pretty achey right now but one to keep in mind for another time. Thank you and well done to everyone

Another brilliant event from a brilliant running company.

Every other running company should model themselves after Hare & Tortoise Running. They do everything possible to help everyone and it seems nothing is ever too much for them. Pete and his amazing team are the absolute best.

Hare & Tortoise host another awesome event!

Bev, Pete and team always host an awesome event, they are friendly and down to earth. Relaxed atmosphere and race structure, basically run as many laps as you like in the time frame. The aid station is packed full of goodies Inc vegan and vegetarian. Great goody bag and medal too!
