Is there mobile reception at The Ladybower Trail Marathon?

Really well organised. Stunning scenery. The food stations had lots of options, juice, electrolytes in packets or fluids, tomatoes, haribo, oranges and bananas. It was like a shop. Tough climb at Mile 15 then technical run down. Over that that no major ups or downs. Would definitely do again

The smallest, friendliest marathon I have done. The scenery the whole way round was beautiful! Terrain was a mixture of packed gravel paths, a small grassy section and some rocky and muddy parts (on the large hill which was challenging in the consistent rain!) Very enjoyable experience, well organised, I'll be forever grateful to the lady at mile 18 for her 10/10 cheering and the orange and haribo! Would definitely recommend!
