Such a great run, beautiful views and really well sign-posted and organised. Very grateful to people like Matt (the race organiser) for putting in the time and effort to organise this and making it as affordable and inclusive as possible, the world needs more people like that! :)

Excellent event! Beautiful scenery and very sustainable! Best ever half way check in point with ice, snacks, fruit and water… which was such a blessing on a very hot day! Loved the finishers memento too :-)
