A low key, well organised event that attracts a good group of runners.

Great course, good smaller event. Organisation could be improved, not enough drinks/no coke at feed stations. No drinks left at the finish. Last feed station had closed early so no drinks available. As it’s a point to point event it would be useful to offer bag drop for both distances to collect at the finish. Only available for the 100k. I took part in 50k & travelled by train staying in a hotel the night previous, so had a heavy bag as had to carry all belongings for 56k. Only just made the cut offs because of this.

Really disappointed with the checkpoints, the finishers medal was probably the worst one I have ever received after a running event and there was not even a banner up at the finish line to say where the finish line actually was. after running 100km it was a real anti climax and considering it cost £75 to complete the run I expected a lot better.

Race was organised well and the route was fun but challenging! Would recommend anybody to challenge themselves and go for a ultra race

Poorly ran event with terrible medals considering a 50k is a pretty big effort. Poor communication also but the route saves the day.

The route was fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The organisation was pretty horrific. Not enough aid stations and the ones that were there had very little to offer it terms of hydration or nutrition. I personally was given the wrong tracker and race number so my results were wrong. The course went through some really remote parts and had very little in the way of direction. I was sent the gpx file after I had to ask for it. I was also given a map which was pretty redundant. We were told to carry mandatory kit which was a waste of time because no one even bothered to ask or check it. Also no finish line! Which if you’ve just ran 50k’s I feel isn’t too much to ask for. But like I say the route is incredible it’s the behind the scenes that let it down abit.

The course is excellent and diverse between the terrain. It's very demanding and one of the hardest routes I have seen.The organisers need to explain how a GPS with the route download is essential not a nice to have. Absolute carnage for some we passed who was relying on a map or phone. Good work though
