"Superb race, superb scenery *boing* wonderful, wonderful race. my first time and loved every moment of it, even the long uphill... brilliant company of other runners doing it and friendly marshalls on the way round. absolutely breathtaking scenery, views were well worth any of the agony of the uphills. definately a favourite and will be back next year for sure :o)" Phal

IMPORTANT NEWS
A pair of nesting buzzards that have a history of attacking people have been reported to be back in an area of the new course. Thanks to the kind permission of the landowner, we are now able to avoid this section by crossing some private land ONLY ON RACE DAY. This reduces the total distance to 23km, as well as reducing the amount of tarmac. See BBC News Story Maps of the diverted route will be available on the day at Registration.
