Coffee, cake and Easter eggs. Daren C
Really helpful and friendly. I will be back. Marie W
I didn’t get the result I wanted but I had a great time. Being laid back while still well organised is hard to pull off, but this was my first Zig Zag event and I loved it. The weather helped, even if it hindered my performance. Sheamus S
Blumin brilliant event! Claire G
Wonderful. As before, Zig Zag put on a great, well organised and friendly event. This was our second run with them and definitely won’t be our last. Martin E
Enjoyable and friendly. A very well organised event with support throughout. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend. Lisa R
The best event I’ve run. I ran my first ultra and my first time beyond half marathon distance. I really enjoyed the day — a beautiful course with just the right level of challenge and a top-tier atmosphere. I hope to run with you again once I can move my legs. Steven L
Another great event with Zig Zag Running, with the bonus of cake and an Easter egg at the end. Scott C
Enjoyable run. We appreciated the Easter egg and delicious free cake and coffee at the end. Very friendly event, plus a great massage in the sunshine afterwards — a perfect start to the Easter weekend. Anne S
