Fantastic course - well marked but exciting enough terrain - one or two narrow areas but able to get past fairly quickly. Medals lovely as always and wooden so eco-friendly. Whole team friendly and approachable.

Channel events are second to none, such an amazing friendly events, This event is such a memorable one, full of different terrain and unique experiences, I loved it and everyone that attended had a smile on their faces, especially on the down hill sections. The course is set in the beauty of the Mendips and the finishing zigzag is brings you back gently into the magic of the beautifully decorated Mendip Activity Centre, where you are welcomed home from a fantastic adventure. Channel events -Dan, Jan and the amazing team are so welcoming and supportive, Thank you to everyone. We will definitely be back. Dan

The event team and marshals were so happy and helpful as usual. The course was epic, beautiful woods to run through and challenging hill, standard! But the most amazing view at the top. One of favourite runs to date 😆
