It was unclear whether it started at 4pm or 4:30pm until about 10 to 4 on the day. The race happened at the same time that a major storm was forecast, and I do not think the race organiser took this seriously. I was familiar with the route, but other runners I spoke to felt misled about how well the route was signposted.Overall recommendation: run the Green Circle in your own time and done some money directly to FORCE.

was awesome but could do with a few more marshal's at certain points as a few places were tricky to navigate, even with the map. but an all round enjoyable friendly experience

It’s a hard course with plenty of hills. My first “trail” run so lots of walking was involved, but it was beautiful and interesting

Bit of confusion about the start time with multiple emails and websites saying different things. Other than that, great event. Route was marked much better than previously
