Lovely run. I have diabetes type 1 and the marshalls were really helpful when i had a low blood sugar, giving me sweets and water to get me back to health so i could complete the run. Alex T
Well organised, everyone at the start was very helpful. Very supportive Marshalls on the route so no chance of getting lost. Great course with lots of hills and mud. Finish was well organised and was good to have our kit very close at hand. Will definitely do again. Andrew G
