What people say

Really well organised event. Friendly Marshall’s, beautiful scenic route and overall a challenging but enjoyable day! As a slow first timer I really appreciated the generous cut off time and it was one of the reasons I decided to have a go at the event. Even as the last runner in I was still offered a warm cup of tea at the finish line and it didn’t feel like the event had been packed up before I got there which meant a lot. Thanks Grant, Mel and team
