Absolutely fantastic event with seamless organisation! Tracy K
First event attended with you and kudos to a well organised and planned event. Thanks to all the Marshalls as without them these would not go ahead. Drinks stations were well spaced and a well signed course. Thanks for a great run! Paul F
