Reviews
Has a bit of everything! Trails, fields, steep inclines and glorious downhills to stretch the legs. There’s a couple of miles worth of roads to run on but other than that, you’ll be amongst the muddy tracks. Can get tricky and technical after heavy rain. It’s a very well organised event and the second Prosper Event race I’ve done and I’ll be sure to do more with them. I haven’t got a bad word to say about them from booking the race to finishing the race. Well marshalled, easy to follow and good feed stations as always.
