Great race fun and the people and Marshalls are great. Tag time seemed a bit off on the site but hey all good. Great fun and well worth a go
Hi Alex,

Thank you so much for the fantastic 4.5-star review!

We’re delighted to hear you had a great time and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere, as well as the support from our fantastic marshals!

If you had any issues with your chip time, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to look into it for you. 😊

One thing to bear in mind with trail events, particularly at Queen Elizabeth Country Park, is that the route weaves in and out of the trees in places, which can sometimes have an impact on chip timing.

Thanks again for joining us and for the lovely feedback, we hope to see you back on the trails soon!

Best wishes,

Team UK Running Events
