Great organisation, route, signing and marshalling. Excellent rest stop. Really nice route with the climb of Leith hill adding a proper workout. My computer went up to 16%. A long way from elitist with a big range taking part.

Gorgeous course that is well signposted and marshalled. There could be a couple more marshals at intersections, but otherwise very good. Would highly recommend, but it is brutally hilly!

Well organised event, great route, excellent signage with encouraging messages up the hills which gave it a really personal feel. Would definitely recommend.
