REVIEWS
This was genuinely one of the most inclusive and jolliest runs I have ever had the joy of experiencing. The pre race instructions were succinct and informative, the procedure for kit checks and start line were seamless. Every checkpoint served not just great fuel but also filled us up with encouragement and positivity. We were greeted with our names - that personal touch made a huge difference. Post race carried on the great vibes and it was lovely to come over the line and immediately be taken care of - by having my tracker taken off me and a hot drink and cake waiting. Honestly completely fab from start to finish - with a few testing hills in between.
