Loved it this year in spite of, or maybe even because of the weather. Lots of fun in the mud, and Bewl still looked beautiful, particularly the nature reserve section. A friendly atmosphere with people chatting along the way and great support from the marshalls, who were heroic in the rain. Thanks Waddies!

Despite the rain gods blessing us with some terrible weather, all the marshals out on the course and at the water stations were SO friendly and encouraging despite Zeus doing his best. It was really well signposted and marshalled, so no "off-piste" moments. I loved that it was muddy and crazy, yes, it IS trails out on Bewl Water, so if it's been raining, trail shoes are a must.
Amazing views over the reservoir and through the lanes, plus I saw a Red Kite - awesome.
The 5 miler would be a great first taster for beginner runners, the 15 is a toughie, one for the warriors out there!
So many cakes which meant seconds (or maybe even thirds!) beer, t-shirt, a very cool medal, what's not to love (other than the two "fields of undulating doom" at the end!)

A multi-terrain course with stunning scenery over 15 miles or an out and back 5 miles if you wish.
This year was made tougher due to the unusual July wet weather making underfoot very muddy and slippery but it all added to the fun.
Trail shoes recommended if the weather has been particularly wet in the days prior.
Friendly, supportive marshals
Lovely medal and nice T-shirt for our efforts too.

Well done on the quick action to re-route the course when the cows escaped!

This was my first time running this event (15mile) and i will definitely come back next year. I would love to see a two lap option added (30mile) to make it an Ultra, ideally increasing the distance to equivalent to 50km.

A huge thank you to all the Marshalls out on the course.

I saw an otter! Made my day love the medal

Such a shame that the course was treacherous. Many people fell, including myself 3 times and it was not because of footwear.
The worst conditions undergoing all the years I have run it.

Well organised and with brilliant stewards around the whole course

Enjoyed it, the cake and food was delicious at the finish and all all the helpers should be congratulated and praised for giving up their time.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly Marshalls and event organisers, great band and amazing cake at the end. Only negative was being chased by cows and had a bit of a course divert. Very muddy but ok in trail shoes!

Today's weather was challenging which had nothing to do with the organisers. I need to invest in trail shoes for any return visit as this was my first and I was worried about sunburn when I entered some weeks back. Great day though, runners supporting each other all the way round, friendly and generally very wet marshalls guiding the way. One that will remain in the memory for a good while, give it a go next year!!

Superbly organised tough course (the hills at the end!) which never seems crowded even in the middle of the pack. Good range of terrain on a twisting flat route for most of the course demands stamina with the hills on road at the end. I always enjoy it and thoroughly recommend the race.
