This was my first time doing something properly like this and my first ever long event and I loved every minute! It was easy to contact to ask any questions, and replies were fast for the thousands of questions i did ask. The organisation on the day was great, and all the volunteers/staff were all amazing and friendly, cheering us on and encouraging everyone. There was plenty of snacks and drinks on offer, and there was also space to set up with your own things if you needed. Access to the event was really good with easy parking. The location was stunning, a tough course but alot of fun (although im sure those hills were getting steeper and longer everytime). I Will 100% be looking to come back next year!
