This is a great race as an introduction to trail races without having the pressure of needing to reach a distance by a certain time, you can take as long as you want. The loop is 3.3 miles so you know that you are able to get to an aid station, refreshments and toilets every 3.3 miles. This is the first time I have entered this type of race and there was no pressure with a great friendly crowd of runners of all abilities. There was a video made the day before to showing what the running conditions were like and any last minute comments regarding what to expect on the day but you do have to keep an eye on social media so that you dont miss it. I will definately do this race again and may be one of their other races a different location.

Excellent organisation and communication to participants before the event made the whole day easy. At the event the staff were helpful and encouraging, really necessary on a day where the weather went from cool and a little rain to cooking hot towards late afternoon. The course was pretty well maintained although the terrain was a bit tricky. Really enjoyed the whole experience

Big Bear Events never fail to deliver. Great atmosphere, brilliant volunteers, superb venue. A great aid station and an excellent medal. Back next week (different venue) for more of the same

Another great Big Bear challenge. Lovely location, hard to believe we were running so close to a busy city. Fabulous volunteers at registration and throughout the day on the aid station. Good choice of sweet and savoury snacks (it's not all Jaffa cakes) and fluids. I like that I can choose to have a tree planted rather than take a medal, I have more than enough medals, though if you're new to running and want the medal they're always very good.

The Kingfisher Challenge from Big Bear Events is a friendly, fun and fantastic event. Coombe Abbey Park is a beautiful setting and the aid station is well stocked with great volunteers. Highly recommended!

This was my first time at one of these events and I was really impressed. It was a fantastic way of being able to run a long distance without too much time pressure. Before the event the furthest I’d ran was 10k, I completed 28k so more than doubled it! The support staff are amazing, there is so much food & drinks to keep you going. The atmosphere and support really helps you through the day. I loved it and will do it again. Thank you all

2nd time completing a HM at this event - beautiful place lovely welcoming people, great snacks on each loop to keep energised and hydrated. If you can do something about the hill on the meadow that would be appreciated (haha!!!) honestly wouldnt hesitate to recommend the whole event and the pre race info was spot on - also photos were uploaded within hours - see you next year!

My first big bear event and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Very clear brief from the start and exceptional support throughout. It was my first ultra and I took some snacks for fuel but they weren’t needed, the station was fully stocked all day! It is a cup less event so I would recommend taking water in a bottle if you prefer that option. There was a place to leave water next to the fuelling station.
