  • Bring your own cup

This is cupless event. All runners are requested to bring their own labelled, reusable cup or bottle.

Loved all the food supplied at the end! Was a really small event but run really well. I was mostly running by myself, but I didn't mind that! Support and aid statiom at my turn around point, lovely support at the end when I came over the finish too! Lovely people and great atmosphere. First time doing a grim event, will be doing one again!

Great race, organised and very friendly organisers. Tia H

Really enjoyable event and the friendliest and most supportive staff! Peter C

Smaller scale event compared to some other marathons that I have done but that is not a bad thing. Great fun, and very friendly support staff. More than happy to recommend this event. Matthew H
