A gem of a race. Wonderfully organised and friendly 50 mile trail race over excellent terrain. Brian H
When non-trail runners go trailβ¦. Loved it, very challenging but ultimately very worth it. Emma E
Beautiful, well-organised, and challenging but runnable route. Could do with an extra waymarker here and there, but overall a well-organised race with some beautiful scenery along the way. Tino O
