A technical course and I went the wrong way once. The finish wasn't obvious- lots of people ran past it. These will be fairly easy to rectify so I'll be back!

Another great run through the woods in the Meanwood Valley. Much better course marking this year, though still a few junctions where it wasn't entirley clear which way to go where an arrow or two would have come in handy. Otherwise a great race.

This was my first event with great owl running and the event was called the holy hustle. It was a great event which was well marshalled with a good pre-race brief too. The course was a technical trail mostly through Woodland and although pink and some green markers were out there were a couple of points where I had to stop because I wasn’t sure if I should go left or right. And at that point I relied on someone else to tell me. On the whole though this was a brilliant well organised event which I enjoyed running and I will be back next year.

Loved the challenge of this trail run.......... I nearly fell once but it was great. Option to not have a medal is appreciated. Four of us missed the trail in the woods in the 2nd half of the race, so perhaps small pink labels are just not big enough.

Really enjoyed it and will be back. The use of red and white tape helped a lot to navigate when on your own. The start line moved and I think this was for the best. The original start line would have been very narrow and congested. The soup was a great touch
