After 5 years it was great to return and complete the Testway Ultra. It was good to see options of either 40 or 50 miles and I really enjoyed the longer option. The course was extremely well marked and the aid stations were well stocked, although being at the back end of the course several items were running out. Would recommend for anyone looking to step up to an ultra distance on a great trail course.

Only downside is would be nice to have some additional plant based food/mini sausages to keep us non meat eaters going. Though all the helpers at the aid stations were very friendly.

Testway ultra! My first ever ultra. The course its self was lovely. Great views ect. The mud deep water and rain was very energy sapping. Now I no how the royal Marines fill when training. Only down sides were the check points. Earlier than expected not at the 10 mile points and not very well stocked. Big disappointment as read in race briefing emails before the race. No vegetarian option nothing with clearly marked. One of the checkpoints had run out of juice and that checkpoint was outside and open pub. So i would recommend the Tessway ultra to anyone that wants to do an ultra. As a good starting point. Great organized event with a good atmosphere. The course was good would be lovely when dry. But you have no control over the weather. Probably tested us all to the max. Don’t rely on the on the checkpoints. If you can have supporters on route with all the extras you need.

Beautiful route, (yes it was muddy), well thought through organisation, friendly volunteers and delicious and nutritious food at the finish. As a female runner, the only thing that would improve this is more information about toilets en route. There was only 1 checkpoint with toilet facilities and there was no information about loos in the pre race materials. Appreciate for many of the runners it’s not a huge deal, but if you want to encourage more ladies, please bear in mind for future!
