Was a well organised run, the marshals / hosts were good fun and the course was a challenging one, should be classed as multi terrain not paths.

course was very muddy but that is just the weather. A good option to get some marathon running done e.g. also to build up stamina for ultras later in the year. Thank you, organisers.

My first full marathon and absolutely loved it. Everyone was lovey and uch a nic atmosphere, very muddy but we all just carried on. Event organisers were so encouraging, went on my own so this really made a difference, I felt at ease & welcomed. Highly recommend this event, I loved it!

Did the race in 2023
No ambulance at the event. No water station during race and I saw only two Marshalls during entire distance. The road was extremely muddy in some areas it was impossible to run, but is not because of the organisation and only because it was raining for weeks prior to the event. View was gorgeous and cakes at the end of the run were delicious. Thank you!
