This event was everything I love about trail running breathtaking landscapes, a course that pushed my limits, and a volunteer crew that made it all possible.

Amazing course and support, everything was top-notch. Can’t wait to race again next year! Not even the heavy rain dampened our spirits- thanks really enjoyed it🏃‍♂️👍

The event itself was great , shame its the last for the afan forest.. Route organised well and staff friendly. parts i didnt think so great .. toilets lack of loo roll this year and last! And no station for the short runners this year , the event was quite an expensive one for all runners so i think we all should have had a fuel station. Also i think only certain breeds and age of the dogs should be looked into. Some people take elderly short legged breeds and drag them round the course , its sad to see them not wanting to walk let alone run , being carried and then made to get over the finish line!! Some dogs are just not made to do running events! All in all a good event , well done maverick team

Great event. Well organised. I volunteered for parking duty and was well lead. Team fantastic. Great venue. Ali does an amazing job organising everyone and sending out details etc Only thing I would say is medals could be more sustainable. Wood/slate/other use eg coaster
