Testimonials

Everyone involved was simply amazing. Very well organised and everybody was so friendly. The rest stops were perfect and I love the salt & vinegar chip sticks! Marc, 2021

Really well organised, good route marking, and great team offering support before and throughout, perfect finish setting. Darren, 2021

It was one of the best and most rewarding things I have done.

Great event, support and participants made the day memorable.

Fabulous! My first ever long trail run, an amazing experience and looking forward to next year.

Friendly, fantastic, fun!

Great day, great support, great race.

Aching legs and a couple of blistered toes. But feeling really good, will definitely do it again next year. One of the best organised events I've been to.

What a fantastic day it was, feeling it in the legs today but such a well organised event!

Huge thanks to all the organisers and support team who were amazing
