Superbly organised and well run event. Great atmosphere. Thomas W.

A very well organised challenging event. Great open water swim, technical bike and beautiful scenic run. Vince P.

Loved this event so much. So well organised and the marshals were fantastic even though there was biblical rainfall for the swim and cycle. Michelle L.

Loved it, though the run section would have preferred a more flat and open route as opposed to very hilly over and around Poet’s Walk. Event marshals were very supportive, really great atmosphere and will definitely do this again next year. Omar E.

Fantastic. Really well-run event. Dan L.

Very well run event with super clear navigation and very helpful Marshalls! The run wasn’t the most enjoyable (too many steep sections for a 5km route) but the swim and cycle were excellent. Ross J.

This was such a fantastic and well organised event. All the routes were very well marshalled, encouraging everyone on. Aidan S.
