Thanks Kelly, putting this year races on was a real achievement given all of the things that happened in the run up to the event, all of our cakes are home made. Most of our volunteers have been with us since the start and know the course back to front. Storm Amy did play a part in our marshal placement this year to help protect and maintain on course safety for all. The course is one that can catch people out as some under estimate the route, the wind over the top of Sun hill can be quite strong on a windy day as there is nothing to block it. due to the course being a traditional style trail/cross country there are occasional situations where there could be hold ups due to stiles or other natural features which are a key part of traditional cross country running. Since 2021 we have been working on a project that will complete next year which will set new rules regarding race start formats to avoid hold ups that can impact adversely a runners ability to compete. We recently changed our timing team after many years with the same timekeepers due to the need for modernisation, quality and speed of results. We completely agree and have been working on our social media output, keep watching this space as the final improvements to our social media page will be completed over the winter along with final stages of a big tidy up that been happening since early 2024. ill speak to our finish line team and arrange for sign posting for next year. We hope to see you again on the start line for our 10th birthday event next year.

thanks Kristina, a lot of work went into this year event, more so than normal given both the events that took place earlier in the year and in the run up to race day. Most of our marshals have been with us since the event started and our cakes are all home made. So glad you enjoyed it and can't wait to see you back on the start line next year.

thanks Ellie, we will sort something out for next year. storm Amy definitely made her presents felt. the cakes are home made so taste lovely, hope to see you again next year..

thanks Lorna, our marshals do a Fab job and this year especially given the near hurricane force gusts over the top of the course they put on an epic performance in weather we've not had in the 9 years the race has been going, ill see if we can put something together for next year race briefing wise, as do think doing an online race briefing could be productive..

couldn't of put it better ourselves, there will be a few tweaks ahead of our 10th birthday and a few surprizes thrown in too to help celebrate.

Hi Anthony, thank you, we put a lot of effort into the event and this starts in November, our entries do vary each year, unfortunately we can't do anything about stiles there a part of the course and to be honest we quite like it, as its a throw back to the days of proper cross county racing.

Hi Jenny, was great to see you back on the course again this year, even with storm Amy 60mph+ winds. our team were very nervous going into race day not only due to the weather, but also the run up to the event, however once everyone set off we all took a deep breath and relaxed at bit. We have always focused on creating a friendly race, that open to anyone and involves the local community. hope to see you again next year.

Hi Melissa, thank you our team put a lot of effort in ahead of every race, this year especially given circumstances and the weather on race day its self, made the event coming together in the way it did very much a relief to everyone who did such a fantastic job in front and behind the scenes, and yes the course got blown away overnight so had to rebuild it at 6am in the morning.

HI Andy, thanks for that, we are lucky to have such routes on our door step that we can use, even more so have the views that we do from the top of the course which on a clear day you can see for miles. yes all of our cakes are home made mainly by our refreshments team and others. we always try to keep the entry prices as low as possible. Hope to see you again at next year race.

Hi Jennifer, thank you so much for that, Unfortunately we can't do anything about the stiles. we are one of the most chilled out races going, all of our marshals have been with us for many years, we also have a number of new marshals this year. were hopefully getting more new team members next year as well. Hope to see you on the start line again next year.
