Testimonials:

Thank you for an amazing event!

I was totally unprepared, as had never run further than a half marathon, but my son and I thought it looked fun!

We will be back next year better prepared and with a better informed support crew!

The organisation of the day was faultless, your staff/volunteers were all so lovely. I really appreciated your genuine interest and concern for the runners, I didn’t feel like a number. See you next year

*****

This event was phenomenal, where to begin: The camaraderie of the team was different level! They were super. The smiley marshals were lovely from the beginning until, rightly so, they faded away before the night closed in. Really enjoyed them sticking around to support. 

From at the start, Paul calmly coordinated staff and participants. At 3/4am he drove down to certain parts of the track to keep us encouraged. To shaking my hand and looking me in the eye after 24 hours of running. He did everything with such good morality. When I consider what lessons I learnt it was the ones from how Paul carried himself and us.

I had the best 24 hours of my life!

*****

Despite the awful weather and subsequent tricky ground conditions, the event was brilliant! It was Incredibly well organised with ample facilities and support. I hope Paul and the team see continued success with the race format next year!

Nick

*****

Great event. Friendly, well-organised, relaxed. There was a hall used as the base between laps where you could keep your bag etc. The route was good - a mix of stony tracks and (very muddy this year!) single-track paths. The event format of one loop on the hour every hour is great - it means you're always running with others. Overall, I had a great time, and this is one I'll do again.
