This was the first Robin challenge, a great addition to the Big Bear venue list. Really great course in terms of scenery and variety. Mostly flat with a few cheeky hills to keep you on your toes. A bit of an issue with navigation on the first lap but the nature of the course made it easy to rectify by doubling up on the loop I missed in the following lap. Logistics and aid were the usual top notch Big Bear standard - parking and toilets near to HQ and outstanding snack selection. Thank you Paul and your lovely, friendly, helpful team for another great event 👌🏼

This was my 2nd Big Bear event in as many weeks. I've not been to this venue before and it's really lovely. I hadn't fully read the blurb and hadn't clocked the hills until Paul's social media reels the day before - oh well. Whoops! Arrived to start at the later time of 10am as a Canicross entrant (running with dog) and a friend with her dog(s). Car park was busy on arrival but a lower car park was available. Toilets were unfortunately closed on the day but portaloos were available on the day instead; thank you for taking the financial hit with this last minute change and keeping everyone happy. The course was lovely and I will definitely come back. Thank you to the marshals who guided us around the tricky parts. The hills were hilly but we spent 2hr15mins running three laps and the time honestly went by so well and although the calves were aching from the hills, it didn't hugely feel like we'd run 16km. I loved the variety of the route; hills, forests, single tracks, open space with fields, next to a lake. The aid station treats and volunteers were wonderful, as always. Loved the option to stock up on more yummy raspberry flapjack from Leo's Bakery. Thank you. Do place an order in advance if you can; you won't regret it. Thank you, Paul, for the wonderful organisation again, thanks for ordering the lovely weather and see you again soon. Emily & Maddie.

Wowwwww what another great event we did our first one in may (bat challenge) and we seen the Robin challenge and just had to do it. Great events. Thank you so much. I achieved my first marathon with you guy's 💕 the guys giving out the medals today was such a friendly chap and made all of us feel amazing

Another fantastic big bear event. Course was great and course was well marked out. Aid station was its usual amazing self. I love how chilled out these events are, there is no pressure to do massive mileage. You go and challenge yourself, you’re not racing anyone, it’s just a good personal challenge. I would rather do those events than any of the big city marathons any day. Well done Paul & the team x
