It was really muddy and wet up to nearly the knees. I love these events where you do as many laps as you can and want in a long and generous time limit. Small field of very friendly participants and organisers all encouraging each other.

Really muddy which added to the fun. Don't come expecting a "race" of sorts as everyone is challenging themselves for their own distance or time they want to compete for. Great training if you're looking to do a longer loop race. Organisers very friendly.

The pre event information was clear to understand and received in good time. Pre start briefing clip was very helpful prior to the event and supported the smooth organisation on the day. Marshalls guiding participants to the parking was helpful as always for anyone not familiar with location.Cheerful greeting and encouragement on arrival and during the event from all participants out on the course. Clearly marked course. The mud and water this year was a challenge for many but grit and determination was the order of the day as always from all. Very pleased to have completed 4 laps to support a friend to complete her half marathon instead of the 2 that I had planned. Chip timers were a brilliant alternative to bib numbers.Thank you for a great event.

The course was good but quite hard, registration was super quick and easy, the atmosphere could have been a bit better

Friendly organisers, course was muddy and puddles so possibly expect that but added to challenge.

I’ve given the course 5 stars because I think it’s a great mixed trail where at times you can feel like it’s just yours. Today was extremely muddy and like a river in places but in all honesty it made it more fun and upped the challenge. In terms of the atmosphere it’s not your big organised event where you have lots of supporters that brings a level of atmosphere, which is why I like it as it’s more low key without race pace pressure, and it’s more about setting your own goals and running your own race, but still meeting some awesome like minded runners of all abilities.
