Good to have you back again Connor and we know you only come back for the flapjack!!
Great event as always! Perfect format for runners of all abilities as you can choose to run anything from 5k to 50k+ and not feel out of place.

Thanks for the review Nicky! Always good to have a Goat at the event and glad you enjoyed the day.
A really well-organised, friendly, all-abilities event. It's not often you find an event so well suited to both beginners doing their first 5km and ultra athletes alike. Lots of lovely little details considered and beautiful, interesting course. I'll definitely do more big bear six hour events!

Thanks Emma! We try to focus on the small stuff a sit matters when you've been running for a long time! No one wants to faff about or have to think to much so we try to take that off your plate and let you worry about left foot, right foot, left foot...!!

Great event. Good pre race briefing by video. Lovley route through the forest. Nice medal and bootle of beer. Very friendly, low key atmosphere. Would recommend Big Bear Events.

Thanks Paul, really appreciate the kind words and review.
A really good event. Big bear events is probably the best race organisers I have come across. This was reasonably priced have good pre race info, they supplied plenty of food and drink and the course was in a lovely place.

Good to have you with us again David and thanks for the review.
This is a great event if you prefer running through the countryside and nature trails as opposed to road marathons. Not traffic to worry about and lots to see to occupy your mind. Very good organisation and very reasonably priced. This is also great if you want to do 5k up to ultra or even decide on the day. May be a good idea to use chalk to show the way as well as arrow markers, especially when it's dry. If I ran it again I would do the same, enjoy the run, take in the lovely surroundings and to geta sub 3:30 comfortably.

Thanks for the review Paul! Great running again and always good to have you with us.
Fantastic day and a great group to run my first ever half marathon which ended up a full marathon with. Great location and great people. Thank you for organising and thank you to all the volunteers you did a fantastic job!

Phenomenal effort Emma! Well done on a really amazing achievement. Hopefully we'll see you again soon and you've got the long distance bug!
