Very well organised with a nice atmosphere and gorgeous trails. Robbie D
Very well run and highly professional event. The volunteers were amazing and made it a great day, and the reason I’ll be back. For an inaugural ultra, it felt like it had been running for years. Well done to the organisers. Stuart A
Honestly a great event. Everyone looked to have enjoyed it and there was no pretentious atmosphere at all, just people wanting to run. I can’t wait for next year’s race. Stuart H
Excellent organisation. Kudos to everyone who made this amazing event happen. Renald M

Brilliant coach shuttle service to and from the event. The route had beautiful views, feed stations were well stocked and well spaced, and the support crew were friendly and encouraging from start to finish. I would definitely recommend it. Well done everyone! Erica S
