Fab event - loved it.... thanks for going to such effort to run a brilliant race, the marshalls were awesome! Lucy Poole
I think I couldn’t have picked a better venue to complete my first 10K race. The course was set in beautiful surroundings. It was challenging and I enjoyed every minute of it. The facilities offered were good and the event staff were friendly and supportive. Olly H
A brilliant race, well-organised but relaxed day throughout. Beautiful varied route, great for those with and without dogs. Well signed and perfect amount of marshalls. Will definitely be back, thanks team! Rosie M
This was a fantastic event. Plenty of parking near to the start/finish, excellent course (proper trails) with clear marking, plenty of water and free food at the finish and quick turnaround of results. Alistair L
Excellent event as always. Mark G
A beautifully organised event. Humans and dogs looked after well. Great preliminaries and thoroughly enjoyed the race. Labrador enjoyed her first Canicross race and a beer to finish! Fantastic! Ross S
We had a fantastic time, a fab course with great communication and a great atmosphere. Louise J
Absolutely fantastic event with seamless organisation! Frazer B
Although it was a fairly "intricate" course, it was really well marked with no possibility of going wrong and with marshals at all key junctions Nicholas L
A really well put together and managed trail race that was set in a beautiful setting at Escot Park near Exeter. Really nice route with some challenging mud that added to the overall experience. Really well organised and marshaled with no issues at all for us on the day. Richard J
Great event. Lots of mud. Varied course. Bettina K
