Celebrating local trails
A thoroughly enjoyable event celebrating the local trails and landscapes. Very well organised, with a great setup and vibe at race HQ, with beer and pizza a welcome sight at the finish line! The event team and volunteers were fantastic!

A gem of a race. Wonderfully organised and friendly 50 mile trail race over excellent terrain. One of my favourite races.

When non-trail runners go trail…
Loved it, very challenging but ultimately very worth it. A good route with amazing views and Wessenden Head checkpoint was fully stocked with all manner of goodies to keep you going, a thoroughly welcome sight!
And I liked mapping the course before the event. There were a few places that could have done with a sign, but I’d mostly figured the whole route before we set off (highly recommend doing this!)
I’d definitely recommend this race. Very friendly, very supportive, very challenging and all to support local charities ✅

Beautiful, well-organised, and challenging but runnable route
Could do with an extra waymarker here and there, but overall a well-organised race with some beautiful scenery along the way. Highly recommend!
Dave Naylor
great small event
Stacey Brook
Really enjoyable run through lovely scenery
Flags in first wood or marshall would be really good. Other than that a very nice runnable course over mixed trails. Would definitely do again
BARRY PROCTOR
Really nice, easy 10km race
Great event, brilliant value for money. A few more marshals could be handy, perhaps race on a Sunday to pickup a few regular volunteers from nearby Parkruns.
One or two more signs/better placed signs needed. Great food and drink at the end. Excellent venue. I think presetations will be better advertised as the event grows. As a great man once said "I'll be back".
Karen Spark
Great run out into the countryside
More flags at the junctions please!
Tony Wimbush
Friendly event with a community ethos
A good day out in area I'm not familiar with.
Really good quality glass trophies.
Possible improvements would be more flags in the wood section and at some 'caution runner' junctions,
Thank you to all the volunteers and for the hard work that's involved in putting on an event like this with such a range of distances. Every success for the future.

Ian du Feu
excellent event
Great day; well organised, friendly & a demanding but runnable course. Really well stocked check points, clearly signed route. Wots not to love?
Jo Robinson
Great first 50k
A great route with lots of stunning scenery and super friendly marshals at the start of the race and at the checkpoints. A huge thank you to all the volunteers!
My only comment would be that there was a lack of clear signage at the end of the race, and the map we were given was at such a scale you couldn’t see all the footpaths clearly. I took a couple of wrong turns and spoke with others who had gone the wrong way, especially at the end of the Wessenden Valley going up onto Deer Hill, and from Blackmoorfoot Res. Maybe put less signage at the start, where you have marshals directing people, and use this signage at the end where it’s more necessary.
This was a great scenic 50k however, and the generous cutoffs make it a good one for beginners.
