Organisation was perfection. Lovely event
Too many dogs (not the organisers fault). Lovely day
Tough but rewarding
Tough but fun
This was my fifth marathon but my first trail one. I loved it.
The scenery was amazing, the event was really well run and really friendly. All of the marshalls and the people at the aid stations were fantastic.
The nickname "the tough one" is well deserved. I will definitely be back.
super super tough marathon - 6 hour cut off a little brutal
please allow the finishers 6.5 hours - this is not a normal ultra and so an extra 30 mins would keep the atmosphere for the marathon finishers
Excellent Race, very tough. Amazing support staff, very friendly.
The course is very tough and unforgiving, lots of hills and tricky surfaces at points. Not for the faint-hearted. Only minor issue was the signage - on 3 occasions I had to ask which way as there were no signs indicating the route (usually when it might look 'obvious', but as a first-timer I got a bit confused). Will do it again.
Did half marathon last year,enjoyed it so much thought I stretch myself and do full one. Yes it was tough and really great experience at the same time. Highly recommend!!
Favourite Race!
I’d 100% recommend this event to anyone looking to do a trail run. Fantastic organisation & atmosphere & views that can’t be beaten! The addition of the 5 miler is welcome for anyone not ready/brave enough for the bigger races
Great scenery and challenging route, very well organised with friendly and lively atmosphere.
The terrain is very hard a lot of the time, (chalk / flint / gravel), so softer shoes may be preferable to train shoes.
Exceptional race and a definite favourite!
Very well organised and big thanks you to the volunteers who gave their time to make it a great success
Beautiful route but challenging as paths are flinty and rutted - but that's the South Downs.
First time I have run this and really enjoyed it. It can be tough going at some stages but the beautiful scenery makes up for it.
A wonderful, challenging, scenic and friendly race.
I've done the 3 forts marathon around 3 times now and it feels like a lovely community event, with runners really well supported by marshalls around the course, all at a reasonable price. Thanks for your efforts in putting this on!

Beautiful race
Well organised and stunning scenery
An excellent and very friendly run!
I loved this run. I ran the 5 mile with my dog and it was a great event. The first hill’s tough but after that the views are stunning. It was well organised and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Thank you!
Deferral option?
Unfortunately I could not run the race today due to injury, which was so disappointing. Would have been lovely to have an option to defer my entry to 2024, when hopefully I will be fit.
