Lovely small race event across unspoilt farmland. Tough course. The horse racing world would call the going 'very soft' I found it well sign posted over 10k. Enough elevation to keep it interesting.

Lovely route, amazing scenery, everyone was friendly. Finish line could be in a better place, and maybe issue a clearer warning about running through very uneven cow fields. Sure the event will only get better as the years go on.

In a breathtakingly picturesque setting, this race boasts a delightful ambiance that captures the hearts of all participants. The course presents an exhilarating challenge, expertly designed and meticulously marked to ensure a smooth experience. Adding a touch of eco-consciousness, the biodegradable medals embedded with wildflower seeds are a beautiful and innovative memento. This race comes highly recommended for anyone seeking an unforgettable, environmentally responsible sporting event.

Stunning. A lovely farming community organised event. Loved the ethos; take nothing away, leave nothing behind, and the welcome from the people involved. Great to have 3 distances, and a small entry so made it very friendly. However, not for the faint hearted, the course is over farmland with some difficult terrain so don't expect a PB here. Beautiful surroundings, wonderful people and dogs welcome. Will certainly consider doing this again. Diane

Some sections would benefit from better marking, I was not the only person unsure of the route in a few places, did actually take a wrong turn on one occasion, fortunately didn’t cost too much time. Otherwise very happy with the run.

Stunning location, met lots of lovely people and the milkshake afterwards was delicious!! For me personally (eyesight not so good now!!) would have liked the marker arrows a bit more prominent, big bigger and brighter colour maybe. Loved the medal.
