Well organised, well marshalled with a friendly feel.. Good communication at race HQ, plenty of water stations. Two bottlenecks in the first mile but fine after that. Nice course and varied terrain and elevation to keep it interesting, with some stunning countryside scenery.

Thanks for your lovely review, Louise. The nature of the course means bottlenecks are possible hence we stress about not being a PB course etc. We always look to tweak this where we can. We'll also add to comms that all of our water stations have the capacity to refill your bottle or reusable cup, to reduce cup usage (though all is recycled). Hope to see you back on the start! Mark, RD.

Over the three days I had a very smooth experience day to day. I liked the routes that were quite varied and undulating, albeit. Haywards Heath was a bit too my road for my preference. From a parking perspective, East Grinstead was great, as there was a dedicated field. But a little bit disappointing that the second two days only paid car parks were available. I definitely enjoyed myself and the type of challenge was quite unique. Will very likely be back next year.

So hope you will be back next year, Nate. It is difficult to have such lovely locations to run in AND have the infrastructure too (due to their very nature). But, like the challenge that you took on, we'll always try to find ways around them. Mark, RD.

Coming from Paris with 2 friends because we discovered your event from the 2025 medal video on socials, we were very happy of this week end ! Very friendly staff and marshalls. Nice medals (solved the puzzle solo ! ) Nice up and down hill on the races, too bad there were multiple laps on two races, but the views were beautiful ! (My friends were fast so it didn't bother them but i was in "traffic" while crossing the fields' gate on East Grinstead so I'm happy I wasn't here for a chrono ^^' )We're happy we took part of this adventure during 3 sunny days :)

Merci beaucoup Chloe pour votre commentaire! Due to the nature of the locations and the courses, laps are needed so this really isn't a PB course. So pleased you enjoyed it all the same and thank you for travelling so far to spend the weekend with us! Mark, RD.

This was my third year in a row doing the MSMW as either a sweep marshal or competitor, and I love it so much I've already signed up to sweep again next year. The atmosphere, the camaraderie amongst both the Nkce Work team and the other competitors is always amazing and makes this weekend a highlight of my race calendar. No event can ever account for every eventuality especially regarding weather and ground conditions, and I know there were some medical challenges this year at Haywards Heath, but these were dealt with as well as could be by the event organisers on the day and there were ample medkcs to respond where needed which was reassuring. We embraced a little bit of fancy dress as sweepers this year and it was so well received that I think we'll have to do it again next year!

Thank you for your lovely words, Pauline. It won't be quite the same at other races when the sweeps don't come in to the "Batman" theme any more! Mark, RD.
