The organisation of the event was fantastic as was every Marshall and volunteer we encountered! fantastic getting us all round! This course is not for the faint hearted, it is tough and the run was particularly difficult more of a hike then run down! We were upset as it was advertised as a standard Olympic but the swim is only 800m and it would have been our first! But wow the ride and run made up for it! Thanks again for a tough but fun Sunday

I’m probably being a little bit generous to give this a 4 overall (but a three just feels horrible) - because whilst some of the team were absolutely lovely, the lack of help/knowledge/interest from some of the Marshalls negatively impacted the experience enormously. Specifically those on the route - I saw one Marshall send another runner the wrong way (I had to shout and get her attention so she would come back!), others weren’t looking at all, heads buried in their phones, didn’t know the route, gave misinformation about starting/finishing places and generally embodied a huge sense of not caring at all. When you’re alone running up a big hill (and Darwen Hill is big!), the last thing you need is a member of the support team making it feel even more unpleasant. Despite that, the atmosphere at the event village was very friendly, all other competitors were lovely and the team at the finish line did a great job of keeping energy up.
