100% recommend this event! This is the best way to tackle the marathon distance on trails: our run leader (Celine) was so supportive, encouraging and positive. The aid station was in a village hall and felt like a kids' party! Great range of food and drinks and always a warm welcome by the amazing team at Run the Wild. The husband and wife team did a perfect job of signing everyone in and making everyone feel welcome, and pumped to go! Beautiful course and would definitely do this again.
