Such a fun event! Stunning course - absolutely beautiful part of the country. The hills were great!! 😂 And the best people ever - Rory the director, the volunteers, and all the other runners. Loved my homemade jam 'trophy' and the homemade brownies at the finish! 100% recommend this event 💚 Katie S
I hope The Hurt is here to stay! Kevin E
Nice event this one, very undulating and some steep climbs along the way, halfway to being a ‘Brutal’ run (just without the water). Ben H
Very well organised in lovely surroundings and as tough as they come. I loved it! Alan D
My first time running the Hurt, and what a gorgeous course, loved it. Sharp, steep slopes are where it is at! Max K
Good hill run, and an ideal training run for a Welsh trail marathon in Snowdonia in 2 weeks. Well organised. Just got lost once going downhill. Thank you for the other runners shouting at me and a sign saying 'turn around'. Jonathan C
Amazing scenery and lives up to its name, which is exactly what you want. Tina W
This was my fifth time running The Hurt - it never gets any easier but always one of the first races on my calendar. The steep climbs are truly brutal, and the satisfaction of getting over the line means I'll be back for a sixth. Simon B
The course was incredibly challenging, however, very well marked out. The marshalls and support from spectators were greatly appreciated and kept me going throughout the course! Maddie S
Let's just get this out there first....Yes, it does live up to its name, yes it does Hurt, and yes it is in Hurtwood... Paula A
Horrendous but in a really good way. Beautiful scenery, epic views and a lot of pain! Iain C
