It’s a tough run in a fantastic location. No matter how much you think you’re ready for it you know it will bite you! Organisation fir car parking was much better this time. Plenty of marshals out in the course. Well done to the organisers

Registration, start and finish should be in the same place.

Toilets were few (6) and 10 mins from start/finish line. Lots of people reliving themselves behind trees.

Great course, harder than the Swansea one! As always staff at registration, the start/finish line and the Marshalls were fabulous. No merchandise store or stalls. A tough course, the hills were a killer! Very well signposted and the atmosphere was great.

Only issue was the distance to the car park and the £5 parking fee

A bloody tough run (I guess it’s in the title) but highly enjoyable if you like a real test of endurance and mental stamina. Slight downsides were the repeat of that first hill and no mountain view’s but overall a fantastic event/challenge and would recommend to friends.
