Fantastically organised Marathon

Really friendly organisers always there to help. I absentmindedly left my phone at checkpoint1 and didn't realise untill about 3 miles later. Luckily we ran Al and he kept it for us and brought it back to the finish line. There were plenty of snacks and drinks of great variety at each checkpoint. The only problem was we found ourselves spending a lot of time at the checkpoints because we enjoyed it so much

Great event and great organisation. Check points were amazing. Always feel safe when running a H&T event.

Great event in beautiful scenery

Really superb event amongst delightful countryside. The aid stations were out of this world with so much on offer and very helpful marshalls. Great goody bag and medals too. Definitely want to do this one again.

Beautiful trail

Pre-race briefing was a bit casual and only minutes from the start time. Okay for those who had done it before but for first timers maybe it could have been better.

Lovely well organised event

This was my first H & T event and it was brilliant. The cost was very reasonable, the organisation and staging was excellent and i felt like the team really looked after the runners. I will definitely be looking for more H & T events to do
