Fourth time I think. Love this event

Wind, bog, ice and water. Not to mention some b*stard hills and climbs! Great workout and achievement. Great Race!

Well organised and supported event

Be kinder to the environment... no plastic cups and no plastic bags around the medals!

Marshals were super!

The use of plastic cups and associated debris needs a thorough review. I took my own water to avoid using cups.
At all stations there were cups thrown away by competitors and being blown in the wind. Marshals should be empowered to DQ anyone found littering even at stations.

Only one negative which was the bottleneck caused by having to go through 2 kissing gates early in the race. It didn't spoil the event but would have been better without this.
All race marshalls, officials, and volunteers were great, very supportive, and encouraging throughout the course. Well done team. Fantastic event.

Be comfortable with cross country conditions and steep hills. Great event!

Hill at the end is mean

Sweeper was amazing

Only negative was the mass of plastic cups at the water points. Unless you are using up old supplies, surely this isn't really the right approach in 2024? Runners can easily carry their own container, whether water bottle or soft silicone cup - and can fill up from water containers if needed. Also cups were not being promptly collected from the ground - they were blowing around everywhere and it's highly likely that some would not be recovered afterwards. Even small single use paper cups would be better!
