My first trail half and loved it. The best bit was the home made flapjack at Portland Bill marshal station! Kept me going

Definitely the most memorable

This is my forth time doing the Portland Coastal half and definitely the most memorable. Mud. Lots of mud, luckily I like mud. Even when I face planted the mud I was glad to see I was covered in yet more mud.
Unless something goes wrong for me I will be signing up again next year!!
Thank you to everyone involved another great event.

Type 2 fun!

Brilliant event. Did it last in 2020 and brilliant both times. Mud along west cliff made it a harder and very different run but can’t control the conditions!
Lovely volunteers, great snacks and a wonderful vibe.
Got a bit lost at church ope cove as it was hard to tell which of the small paths was the correct one despite having the route saved. An extra Marshall would have been amazing here if possible!

Well organised, friendly and a proper challenge.

My third time and it gets better every year. Wonderful marshals, great feed stations and no nonsense racing.

Love it and will be back next year. Thankyou.

Extremely tough, but wow the views

Well organised and cracking views. You can do this as your first 1/2 but you’ll be over 3 hours lol Treat it (if it’s muddy and windy) as a survival race with some of the best scenery you’ll every see! Lovely stuff

Such a fantastic event, running round the best Island. Challenging but In all the right ways. The Marshall's and Organisers work really hard and are just brilliant. Love this event!
