Great route, well marked out nice and flat. Friendly marshals and lovely choice of refreshments! Nice medal too! Well done to the organizers.Did the Marathon in 2019
Good organiser and friendly and super helpful Marshalls on the route. Stress free start and a lovely and fast route. Great food and drinks selection; with both sweet and savoury snacks! Will look out for the same organiser for future events.Did the Half Marathon in 2019
I greatly enjoyed this community race. Only a few participants are allowed given the narrow paths. Thus, I felt lucky to have been part of this event. Everyone was very friendly. I loved having showers to freshen up afterwards. The area is beautiful, but one must pay attention to the paths since there might be mud, rocks, and roots along the way.Did the Half Marathon in 2019
Well organised, beautiful settings.Small event, but could not accommodate many more due to the narrow paths.
