A fun, well supported, well organised and challenging event. Alice Holt is a beautiful setting, and with the hills, and valleys, adds a suitably challenging element for experienced and new runners alike. Both my friend and I had a great time. The compere kept things light and the cafe, toilets and sports massage pre and post run offered were taken up by a good number.
Pre-race admin was good and I definitely hope to return again in the future and beat my time.
Very well marshalled and signposted - so no chance of getting lost.
Well done to the whole crew at Alice Holt - such a friendly bunch!

This was a fantastic event. This was my first ever race and felt perfect. Just the right size crowd to be fun without it feeling intimidating. The course was fab and the goodie bag was a lovely treat. Thanks so much to all who organised and volunteered. We will be back.
