Lovely 6.7 mile course (About 10.6k according to my Garmin) . Friendly and supportive atmosphere with no pressure to go fast and good mix of running and walking over mixed terrain. Good parking at the pub (£5 cash to park on field) and nice to get a pint (in my case a 0% Estrella Galicia) and a seat at the finish. Didn't have the chip butty as the queue seemed to keep growing.

First time running with its grim up north. The event was very well organised. The course was fun and in a beautiful setting with a mixture of single track, woods, fields, and pavements. Water/ sweet stations were very much appreciated. Everyone was very encouraging and friendly which pleased me as I was initially put off signing up for this as I was concerned this would be full of 'real' runners and trail runners . There were plenty of "well dones" from the marshals and other runners and no pushing past by the 'serious' runners and always a "thank you" when you let them past. It's certainly wet my appetite for trail running as much more engaging than slogging around roads.

A great trail run course with a bit of everything, including some tough inclines. Great, friendly atmosphere as per usual. Highly recommended.
Only fly in the ointment for me was the charge for car parking in an unmown field and the limited refreshments available at the end. Still, a good venue really.

Lovely race, well organised, shame about the wait for chip butties at the end. Otherwise spot on.

The weather was beautiful which made this a perfectly enjoyable race. The location and scenery are outstanding and the race is super friendly, well organised, marshalled and signposted.

Amazing events by an amazing team. Well organised, fantastic Marshall’s, courses well sign posted, the best medals and post race snacks!! All the competitors at these events are super friendly, considerate of everyone and no egos!! Everyone’s there for a good time and to support each other!! Well done Grim team!!

Highly recommend for first time half marathon runners, very generous cut off time, no pressure, no stress, well signposted, people of all levels and chips. Spot on

Varied terrain, well marshalled and well marked. Plenty of parking and you finish in a pub!

First time running with its grim up north. The event was very well organised. The course was challenging in parts but in a beautiful setting. Water/ sweet stations were very much appreciated. Everyone was very encouraging and friendly. Dont think I went longer than afew minutes without hearing a "well done from the marshalls amd other runners

The route had a bit of everything - road, track, mud, fields, cobbles, tough hills and even a water crossing

This was a hard route, but well organised and beautiful! Would highly recommend

Another fabulous Grim race that I've come to expect. Warm welcome at registration, fabulous marshall. Medal represents the event perfect. You can't pick better than a Grim race.

My first time at this one, was explained so well.

Just a small grumble, with charging £5 for parking the field could have been cut. I was a little worried driving my small fiat 500 through the very long grass.

Starting and finishing at the pub was a great idea .
Queue for chip butties was slower than expected but it is what it is .
Would have liked a pic of the abbey on the medal or name of event . Although i did like the medal anyways .

Friendly and welcoming event, well marked and marshalled, fantastic finish with a chip butty and medal, delicious

Thank you to all the organisers and volunteers. The event was very well organised, the course was enjoyable and clearly marked, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I look forward to taking part again.

Another great run. What a route. Fantastic organisation and the chip butty was beautiful
