Great event. Well organised with friendly and supportive marshalls/welfare volunteers. Brilliant to have the bar/BBQ for during and after running. Will definitely be back πŸ‘πŸ» Stuart A

Great team event. So much fun! Paul B

Well-organised, extremely friendly Marshalls all day, a great atmosphere between participants and a bar and barbecue to try and tempt the solo runners to finish early! I shall be back. Gary W

A really well organised event with the set up linked to the rugby club meant great toilet facilities plus a nice bar and breakfast then lunch option. The tag team element made this a great team spirit even though the weather was extremely hot! Really hoping they organise it again. Louise S
