Beautiful scenic route. Great pit stop refreshments.Registration process at the start needs improvement as there were long queues.The chip timing/results could be improved by including ages of runners so as to highlight runners in particular age groups.

Did the 10k in 2022

The location is beautiful. The organisation was poor. The course ended up being 10.5k due to marshals sending runners the wrong way. Online reviews suggest that something similar has happened before. The race report send to all participants after the race didn't acknowledge this. I complained to the race directed and received a thoroughly unapologetic reply. Go to this if you love running in beautiful locations, but be aware that the organisation will be questionable and if anything goes wrong, you won't get an apology.

The car parking wasn’t very well sign posted and nobody at the registration seemed to know where we should have parked. The course had a large swamp puddle where a number of runners fell in because of an unsafe and slippery muddy bank to try and get around it. This was surprising considering it was a warm and sunny few days and no recent rainfall..

Very enjoyable 10k in a lovely location.Parking and facilities were great. Water/fuel stations provided if you need them and medics on hand.10k course felt a little long - measured at 10.57k by my watch GPS and supported by timing - yes you can expect some variation but this seems a bit out.Briefing could have been better - finish route not 100% clear (along the dam) and could been clearer on trail hazards and runners going in opposing directions on the trail.Signage decent - didn't have sign at every junction but if you use common sense to follow the lake side, then fine.Would do it again!

I enjoyed my run but felt that another water station was needed about 9-10 miles in.

Did the Marathon in 2022

All good and well marked course and stocked refreshment points (but they would benefit from some refill tanks to make it easier to replenish bottles) the only issue was finding the starting point as this was poorly sign posted.

Anyone know how hilly the marathon course is?it
ironman tooltime8/23/2020
Marathon is two laps. Looking at my garmin there are two quite steep hills (on the far side of the reservoir from the start to half way round each lap) of over 50 metres. Total incline on the marathon should be around 400m. It's moderately hilly in those spots but the rest is undulating and some downhill obviously. You could even walk the steepest hills and have a bite to eat unless you're mega fast 😎
