Beautiful, well organised race and the hills made it more interesting if challenging!

In short: Hills that go down as well as up
In full: Fantastic race full of hills and no flat bits. It’s an out and back with the most beautiful scenery, excellent support from the village and brilliant marshals. The last km is a decent climb but it’s worth it at the end. I can’t recommend this race enough.

This was my 2nd year and have PB’d on both occasions, which is great given the hilliness. A tough but brilliant event and stunning scenery to help you along. Love it!

It was a fantastic event and great credit is due to those who organise the event and to the local community for their great support. It was a very tough course but that’s what made it so special.

In short: Hilly, hard going at times, but very enjoyable
In full: A very scenic out-and-back race, with lots of hills (and one particularly steep climb at around the 7km mark). It’s very well organised, and the support along the route is fantastic. A really good event that caters for runners of all abilities!
