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 againB

Elizabeth GDid the 21K in 2019
I absolutely lived this race. The signs were brilliant unlike the hardasnails race all junctions were marked with an arrow. The route was great. Very pretty. Great atmosphere. Will be doing it next year.C
Clare DDid the 42K in 2019
This 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.Did the 21K in 2018

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!A
Alan IDid the 42K in 2019
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!G
Gemma RDid the Ultra in 2019
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 ultraJ
Jesper LDid the Ultra in 2017
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.Did the Ultra in 2019
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!
