Thanks for an amazing run today, we loved the half marathon. Stunning location and really well organised!

Probably the best forest trail half marathon I’ve done and I’ve done quite a few! What sets this race apart are the beach and sand dune sections, which combined with the forest trails make it a glorious race for all fitness and speed levels. Despite gnarly weather with strong winds and heavy rain, I really enjoyed it and even posted my second-best time of the year. The course is flat in places, very well marked, with friendly marshals and well-stocked aid stations. Some stunning coastal views and a fun, varied route make this a race I’d happily do again.

There is always a relaxed atmosphere at Always Aim High events and this was no exception. Set in the amazing forest at Newborough, the 10k route was challenging, varied and great fun, with forest trails, roots, sand and even sections along the beach. Despite gale-force winds and rain, the tree cover helped and the whole experience was fantastic. Great organisation, well-stocked feed stations, quality t-shirt and medal, and plenty of food at the finish made this a brilliant trail race that I would gladly do again. (shortened) Clive P
