They have a blue wristband and a smartwatch on one arm, and the trail is surrounded by green foliage. Two runners, wearing "North Herts Road Runners" vests, run along a sunlit, tree-lined path. The male runner, with a blue knee brace, gives a thumbs up, while the female runner smiles. Both have race numbers pinned to their shirts and appear to be mid-race.

This race is hard. It hurt in a whole load of new interesting ways with lots of short steep climbs and some steep technical descents. The scenery is breathtaking and the organisation is great. The route was exceptionally well marked and although there weren't many aid stations, they were well stocked with gels and drinks. Definitely be back next year.

This was an excellent event, plenty of pre-race information and briefings. Start location was clearly communicated with directions around parking etc. The route its self was beautiful with different type of views and terrains; woodland, grassy fields, moorland and some small amount of tarmac. The views are incredible and well worth a stop break for a quick photo. Plenty of hills, some really tough ones, especially on the way back when you’re tired. Nothing undoable though and plenty of fast, fun downhills to compliment those uphills. All in all, a great race.
