A brilliant event. Challenging course (although was my first marathon), fantastically organised and signposted, and really friendly stewards at aid stations and throughout. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to do a trail marathon.

Great race, good facilities (no toilet queues) and really nice race director and team. They even organised good weather for us. Always a bonus. Would recommend this race. Hey, I might even step up to the marathon next time.
