Must be good we come back every year

Maybe try to have something happening after the run it seems once it's finished every one disappears or if Mr Aspinall could make an appearance. All that said we would still do both animal park's whatever happens it's all for a great cause

The distance was short by around 350 metres and the marshalls at the beginning were not paying attention. The front runners were directed incorrectly twice by the Marshall causing them to run the wrong way.

Great but challenging event

I really enjoyed this run but it definitely isn’t for beginner runners

A unique enjoyable run

Only negative for me was the race came up short. Not a tiny bit either which could be gps error, my watch showed 4.68km at the finish. All runners I spoke to said the same, those that have their watches in miles finished on 2.9 miles

Got to see the Tapir! Happy with That!

The bridge walkway was quite slippery after running on wet grass. Maybe some grit could help?
Had a wonderful morning! Great Marshals.
So pleased I saw the Tapir- I visited many times and never seen one. (We saw a Tapir Ear once but I was convinced it was just a Log)
Beautiful Medal design!
Can’t wait to do the next one!!

Brilliant! Great course, Great marshals, Great value!

Such a brilliant day! Such a great atmosphere - so many marshals and staff were amazing, coming out to cheer on the runners. What a fab course - so many animals! Great value and a lovely gesture to allow free entry into the part afterwards - THANK YOU!

A good run, the hill back up was pretty brutal

It said on the email there was going to be catering at the start! My spectators were quite hungry waiting having skipped breakfast!

Excellent scenery!

Would be nice if there was a refreshment van outside so spectators could grab a cup of tea. We had spectators with us and they all wanted a drink.

A very difficult terrain and track, need to re-thick the difficult and varied terrains

Please add the ater station at the bottom of the large hill back in.
