This was our first event with Big Bear Events and we were impressed. It was an excellent day, run in a very friendly and organised manner. I am sure it won't be our last.

A truly great event. Well organised. Value for money. Photos included. Small enough to have a very friendly feel to it. Beautiful views. Great food/drink and merch !!

Another great event from BigBear - hassle free, lovely views, good mix of surfaces, reasonably priced and lots of goodies at the aid station! What more could you ask for?

Brixworth Country Park is a beautiful location and we were blessed with good weather (a sunburnt nose in March?!!) and unexpected entertainment by stunt planes from the nearby flight club. The interesting layout of the 5K route coupled with my non-existent sense of direction meant I was surprised by my surroundings for the first 5 laps and I think this is why I managed a full marathon instead of the planned 20 miles. The local dog walkers and anglers were a little bemused to see us, but they were very friendly and supportive with their "well dones". Top class event team and a fabulous aid station manned by the friendliest couple. A great medal, souvenir beer/cider/apple juice and legendary flapjack. I'll definitely be back.

Fantastic event. All organisers and marshals are extremely friendly and have enjoyed attending the last few events. I hope to attend many more over the next few months. Course was great (though muddy in places). Aid station was fab - sorry again for drowning the jelly babies 馃憖馃槼馃樄

Thanks for the review (and being at the event!) Kat. Glad you enjoyed it but not sure your new "Coke coated Jelly Babies" will catch on...! See you at another soon, hope the throat is better by then too.

A fantastic event and my very first ultramarathon. Well organised, good route and the volunteers were great. I will certainly be back for another of the organisers events!

Thanks Marshall! Glad you enjoyed the event and well done on the first ultra. Quite a challenging route to go long on, the hill definitely got steeper and longer on each lap!! Was nice you had your friends cheering you in too. Look forward to seeing you at another one soon.
