Bewl Water 15 Mile is a challenge for any runner. The length and rapid changes throughout the course keep you on your toes, while the technical terrain and hills will make even experienced runners focus down to do their best. We were well cared for by all of the volunteers at the race village and at water stations over the course. This isn't a full service trail run, though, so pack your own food and iso! You'll be well rewarded with a wide variety of cakes and a selection of bitter and pale ale at the end. Travel with a friend to reduce parking and navigation difficulties.

Fantastic race and well organised. Only issue was the queue for collecting numbers. Would suggest posting in advance, or finding a way to shorten the queues.

I was left wondering how ordinary cars would have managed with parking in a hilly field if the ground had been muddy

Shout out to all the marshalls -so encouraging! Made such a difference. Thank you!

I did speak to Mark about this, I was supporting one of my friends who was running the 5 mile race after not running for the last month.

The sweep and adjudicator were right on our heels and it felt very intimidating, not sure why they were so close.

Will hopefully do again next year
Thanks to organisers and brilliant marshalls

Measured long at 15.4 miles but it was an enjoyable race none the less.

Friendly , well organised & great trophy’s :-)

Plenty of volunteers so was always confident of following the correct route! Thoroughly enjoyable from mile 1 to 15 and great as a training run or a standalone race

Brutal, Beautiful, and Brilliant- Bewl at its best.

Brilliant race, best one I’ve done so far - friendly, welcoming and well organised! Plus we even had cake and a brass band at the end… would do again.

Awesome route, brilliant volunteers and registration process.
WHY all the plastic cups !!! What a shame you left such a huge carbon footprint. A race of 15 miles should be cup free or paper cups when needed.
Also an earlier start time wouldn’t go amiss!!
Sort out the cups for a 5/5 run !!

We travelled from Essex for this race and it didn’t disappoint; we both really enjoyed it! Thank you

Fabulous medal, always makes the harder runs worthwhile

The course is pretty brutal with the hills at the end. But great event, so well organised and nice not to be able to just do the 5! Thank you to all the marshals and organisers.

A challenging but rewarding trail run. Stunning views and wonderful Marshalls. Would highly recommend

Everything about this race was perfect. The organisation was the best and I loved the challenging and beautiful route.
Thank you Wadhurst Runners and all the organisers.

Would suggest replacing plastic cups with paper cups

I have never done a trail run before, but was expecting mud due to heavy rain prior and forecast. Whilst the terrain was hugely muddy and many parts I had to walk, I thoroughly enjoyed this run! The Marshalls were extremely friendly and helpful and the route was well signposted.

It is a hilly route, and on top of that with the rain, I would say this is more of an intermediate course. However, if you're participating for beautiful scenery and some fun I'd definitely recommend it. I had such a great day!
