Mike Paskins

Hard route, but well worth it!

First time attending this brilliant event. Very well organised and the staff, marshals, and other runners were very friendly. The flexible start and lap format made the whole day far more chill than a traditional race. Will absolutely be doing more LPR events in the future. PS: This STTA route was really cool, but it's a very technical trail, with lots of uneven ground and tree roots. Come prepared for a challenge.

Lauren Paskins

challenging but fun

lovely event. well organised and the route was clearly marked. it was steep in places and more tree roots than I expected but still a fun experience. having only been running for 8 weeks it was a challenge for me, but one I'd do again!

Thank you Lauren. Well done on the start of your running adventure. So glad you had fun and a challenge.

Michael Butcher

Lovely trail run

Really friendly team to support. The trail itself is challenging enough to keep you thinking - it was dry when I did it but I can imagine it would very unpleasant in places in the wet.
If I'm going to be picky, I'll say that the aid table felt a little bare - packs of crisps or other savoury options other than potatoes would have been a nice addition.
But, other than that, a lovely run, in a great environment, well marked route and some friendly marshals.

Thank you Michael and well done on your Ultra marathon. We did had 2 bowls of crisps yesterday but we will definitely think about more savoury options for the future; feedback noted and will be actioned.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

I thought the event was fantastic. The staff, area, and route were great. Thank you so much to everyone involved. That was my first ever organised run, so you made it easy and enjoyable.

Well done on your first organised run Martin. Glad it was enjoyable.

Rita Daly

Great course, superb event management.

I enjoyed starting when I wanted rather than brave the typical stampede style start. The course had very clear signs all around

Ian Burger

Superb all round

My first lapped event and it did not disappoint; even the rain was a welcome addition! Great support and encouragement from the organisers and marshals, very well stocked aid station and, most importantly, the route had a bit of everything - trail, road, technical (in parts), views, wild life and a downhill to the finish line. Looking forward to next year.

Unless you try, how do you know what is possible?

Loved flexible start. Nice choice of snacks. Marshalls & running company so encouraging even when thinking not doable.

Absolutely beautiful event and lovely team!

Thank you so much for an amazing run. Beautiful scenery, really fun technical trail, particularly the wiggly woods!

So glad you liked the 'wiggly woods' Amy and yes we agree it's definitely 'technical'!!!

Mike Adams

Great, flexible event!

The format, doing as many 5 km loops as you wanted was super fun. It also meant my friends and I of different running ability could all come along and have a go. The course had a decent amount of elevation but nothing crazy. It was really well sign posted throughout. The aid station was great!
