A mostly nice falt course with some lovely scenery. Several refreshment stations which were very much needed!

Amazing and value for money
This was my 3rd it’s grim up north race and the atmosphere is amazing, everyone is friendly and motivating. The water/fuel stations every 3 miles is good and then station at the end with cakes sweets fizzy pop etc is good. The medals are really nice too!!! Very good value for money.

Friendly northern run - beginners to PB’s
Nice route but poor organisation around another running event happening in the area
This was my first event with this company and initially when booked, I thought it was good value for money but on the day it didn’t feel this way. There were 3 portable toilets which were adequate for the number of runners. But no bag drop or sheltered area, we left our stuff in a tree and were lucky it didn’t rain.
The briefing at the beginning explained the route which seemed very straight forward but it was never mentioned that another race was happening in the area too (the organisers thought the other race was the following weekend)
While running I saw the other race’s mile sign markers out which were confusing and then a marshal from that race insisted two of us take a turn (this marshal assumed we were part of their race !) . Poor communication between the two races.
I ended up running up a very steep hill into some wooded area, totally lost and on my own, as a female I felt very vulnerable.
I ended up turning around and finding my way back but has lost my pacing etc .
I completed the race with an additional 1.5miles so a 20mile marathon training run ended up being 21.5 miles! This was my last marathon training run and I was totally exhausted and deflated by the experience.
The organisers at the end didn’t seem interested in what had happened!
I could have ran the same route for free and would have had a better experience with £37 in my pocket!
Also, than email with all the event details would have been handy too.
I’ve been to better organised events for half the price so sadly I won’t consider these events again.

My first 10k and I felt welcomed, a smaller event but didn’t lack atmosphere.
Well organised and the refreshments afterwards were delicious!
