Recommended. I’ve done both the Snickerthon and Yabba Dabba Doo at Chasewater. It’s well organised, welcoming and a great varied terrain course in stunning surroundings. I’ll be back and recommending the event to my friends. Stephen B

Beautiful park with loads of deer. Lovely friendly event with no pressure. Craig M

Amazing. Loved it. Ange C

Event made me think this is what running used to be about, absolutely wonderful. The volunteers were amazing, warm, friendly, efficient and encouraging. Just lovely people. Henry B

Brilliant. Location is perfect. Loved the friendly, low key vibe. Chose it for my first marathon because of these factors. Perfect for spectators as there are plenty of opportunities to see the runners. Loved the deer! Rosemary J

Friendly racing community. All of the event staff and people taking part were all welcoming, friendly and made the race fun and enjoyable. Holly F
