This is a fantastic, well-run race with amazing Marshals. It was amazing to get a medal this year x thank you x Francesca M
Great marshalling & encouragement! Great medal and interesting surprise ‘really hilly bit’!! Beverly C
Amazing course and support, everything was top-notch. Can’t wait to race again next year! Jason T
Well organised, challenging course, great marshals and the option of a can of energy drink or gin and tonic in place of a medal - fabulous idea. Caroline H
Blinking hard course but still my favourite event of all times, friendly atmosphere and the energy drink at the finish was better than any medal. Glyn J
The race was a lot of fun, I would recommend it to others! Jason T
This was my first time completing the event it was amazing although it’s called 3 hills I counted at least 7, 😂. But the best part for me was the cheering from other runners as I was making my way through the finishing tunnel. I felt a real sense of camaraderie with the running community. Great event, great staff, cheerful and friendly marshals and an amazing first aid person who handed me jelly babies! Jamie W
What a great race. Plenty of Marshalls, great route, good value. What’s not to love? Greg H
