This was my first ultra and it was fabulous. The pre-event info was really thorough and the signage on the day was very good. The Marshalls were FAB, so encouraging & the start and finish staff were wonderful too. The photographer did a great job too - lovely photos! The medal was also great. Would recommend this ultra to anyone. 10/10 🏅 Emily B

 I can only describe this as a beautiful scenic 50K ultra race with the most friendliest atmosphere. Carly L

Loved this event! It was my first Ultra and it’s given me the confidence to do more of them. Such a great team behind the scenes and incredibly helpful marshals on route and at the checkpoints. Thank you 😎 Kim Y

The marshals were warm and friendly throughout and really kept me going. Price wise I felt it was really well priced for what you get and well worth the money. A lovely event and I would really recommend to anyone from beginners to those more seasoned. Brogan
