Very beautiful race through fields and forests. All of us were a little broken (especially Ryan) so we ran as a group and really enjoyed it. Super fun vibe at the finish line with loads of music and some food. Olly the legend powered through the 60k on his own!!… read more
Smooth registration process with a unique slant on the briefing being carried out in a church. Really well sign posted route, no chance of getting lost at all. The aid stations were well stocked and manned by friendly volunteers. The final aid station in Blackheath was a treat with a surprise bbq and great support from the marshals there - taking and filling water bottles, checking we had everything we could possibly want and that we were ok. The finish area had a really good atmosphere with lots of people about even though I was towards the back end of the Ultra finishers, lots and lots of tea and cake to be had and a pint if you fancied. The route was a good mix of mainly trail with a few road sections thrown in to link the different sections of trail. Nice mix of flat terrain with a few hills thrown in during the last third of the route. This event has gone from strength to strength over the 3 years it has been running and I look forward to running in it again … read more

Did the Half Marathon in 2019This is a very friendly run. It is very well supported with well stocked aid stations. The views on the route are great and I just hope that I am fit enough to run again next year.
Brilliant run and well organised. Best half i’ve run yet and have already signed up again for next year.
Fantastic event - a tough one! Well managed, an enjoyable day despite the hills and the heat! The pint at the end was worth the effort!
This was my first Trail Marathon and an excellent place to start! Undulating scenic route round the Fox Way. Very well marked and excellent friendly feed stations! Will most likely try the Ultra next time!
Lovely low key event with a great route which has a bit of everything the Surrey countryside has to offer - woods, river, hills, views and a bit of sand just to finish off the legs! The aid stations were well stocked and placed at good convenient distances. Nice event to take on as your first ultra
Thoroughly enjoyed this event. Beautiful part of the country with the Surrey Hills/North Downs as part of the course. Great organisation as usual from AAT.
I think this event has everything going for it -- initial information top notch - information on the website, interaction on FB page, ease to register,- parking - not at the event itself but plenty of parking around (I do recommend train station - only few minutes distance from the start / finish)- good organization in the morning at registration - nice and smooth - but I was one of the first ones but even as the queue grew - the guys were very efficient,- free tea and coffee making facilities - you had to make it yourself but it was there available for free (not paying 2 or 3 quid for a tea bag and cup of hot water - like at some events....)- sermon before the start - sorry - race brefing - short, efficient, to the point - which I personally liked- extremely well marked course - it's impossible to get lost - you have arrows after arrows after arrows... and also you just follow signs with Fantastic Mr Fox himself ;-) (ok fox head with a crown on it)- well stocked aid stations - with selection of food (sweet savoury) and drinks (proper Coke!!!!) - and very efficient volunteers- great views - canal paths, woodlands, fields- not too much tarmac- bit hilly but nothing to complain about- great finish line - with again free hot drinks and cakes - cakes and more cakes :-)- really nice bling - and a buff...Personally I didn't find the course too hilly - although it is a bit undulating - nothing too extreme.... But again - depends on where you train on daily basis...All in all - top event - and I would definitely recommend to anyone!
Fantastic event set in the picturesque Surrey Hills & River Wey valley. Well organised with many running options all ending at the same place. Great atmosphere, a really fun event.
Really enjoyable race with great scenery. It combines some tough climbs with flat an fast.Will definitely do again
Flawless delivery, very well stocked aid stations, some of the finest scenery that the Home Counties have to offer and – most importantly – some of the friendliest, cheeriest most good-natured marshals in the world.I love AAT events – they are among the most laid-back, low-key and good fun events on the trail running scene. The Fox is no exception. After competing (possibly the wrong word, given my age, morphology and my inability to get out of a low chair without grunting) in 2018 and 2019, I will most definitely be back in 2020.
Stunning scenery and a great hilly challenge. A great race for beginners and seasoned runners alike. Would like to do again
The team at aat never fail to deliver. Once again a superb event. It’s the detail like asking what fuel runners want for the feed stations well done Toby and the great team.
Fantastic event, really well organised. A very varied route across fields, through woods along canal paths etc. There really is a bit of everything. Top draw
Once again this was a fantastic race.So well organised.Everyone friendly and helpful.Highly recommended
Attractive route on a very windy day. Aid stations well stocked and volunteers were very cheerful. Very helpful people at the finish, included bringing me a cup of tea which was lovely.
My running buddy and I did our first marathon at the fox had a fantastic time! The volunteers at the water stops were all great and the scenery was fantastic
My first Ultra. So well organised, super friendly, marshals did a great job. Comes highly recommended 👍👍
Awesome course, really good organisation and overall a great day out...............................................................................
Great course with some challenging sections. . Well supported aid stations and very good free photos.
Really stunning views...would do again and again. From the start to the finish a well organised race.
The organisers and volunteers were fantastic, encouraging & friendly. Well marked course and very pretty route. It was my first ultra so a great one for me to start with. Great medal too!
My second year of doing the Fox and even better than the first year. Well organised, impossible to get lost thanks to the great marking, wonderful aid stations, friendly volunteers. The only thing that needs improvement is the lack of toilets at the start line.
Really enjoyed this. Nice and friendly. Loved the relaxed start. Very well signed. Could maybe have had marshalling at 1 or 2 of the busier road crossings but nothing was too dangerous. I epecially enjoyed the final aid station. Course loses a mark for quite a lot of road (more than I expected) although its clear in the route description its 30% road. Could be the Ultra for me next year.
Really enjoyable, small event which was very well-organised and sign posted. Big choice of snacks at the food station and at the end. Mainly across fields and through woods. Not the remotest run I've ever done but it was so easy to get to from London which was a big plus. Point to point not circular but a shuttle brought all the bags from the start to the finish and they were there waiting for us when we finished. Really fun with friendly organisers!
This is a great event. Fantastic support crew. Very well marked and marshalled. Stunning views loved it.
This was my first ultra experience and I loved it! The course was well marked and gloriously varied passing through forest, field, road and canal; and staff and volunteers were all super friendly. Areas for improvement: it would have been great to have electrolyte drinks at aid stations; and the course was 1.15k further than expected - which is a low blow when you have already ran 60k!
Hard work (the wind against us all the way!!) but a beautiful course. A few hills but not as bad as anticipated.
Would highly recommend this race. Very well organised, great support team and lovely run through the countryside! The aid stations are very well equipped and the finish line atmosphere was epic. Only small point was that for some of the route it's a one person wide path which makes it hard to over take people/chat to mates as you run. This said, it's overall a fab event and will definitely be coming back next year!
