Very friendly and excellent communication pre event from organiser. Thoroughly enjoyed my 1st MM in a decade with my son who was making debut. Only gripe was: would like option of 2-day score

Fantastic, as usual. The only point that makes me sad is the plastic running T-shirt, which is not very good for running actually. One or two decades ago, we were offering a beautiful T-shirt, made in cotton, and that T-shirt was great for everything: the environment, showing off with colleagues at work, and even running! Please, get us back the cotton T-shirt, even if that means some extra fees at registration. Thank you.

It's the best event of the calendar year and the one we look forward to each year. Love it as its a team event. It's just a pitty there weren't more of them throughout the year. Thank you to everyone who makes this wonderful event happen. And a big thank you to the two first aid men in the tent at the finish who attended to my hand and cleaned me up they were both very kind and attentive. Thank you all so very much and looking forward to next year. X
