I really enjoyed it, the course is hilly, but that’s to be expected and it was really well managed, iv always enjoyed maverick events so far and this one did not disappoint! All the logistics were very smooth and the event village was great at the end to recover and refuel with a...

My first Ultra and I couldn't have chosen a better event! The volunteers were brilliant and the pit stops out of this world. The course was excellent and the markers made it straightforward to navigate. Highly recommended.

The course was well marked, and the entire event was very well organised. Event area had a lovely ‘festival’ vibe. All in all a great event.

Brilliantly organised event, from the pre-event information to on the day registration, aid stations(including vegan friendly snacks) and overall atmosphere! First time doing a Maverick event having heard so many good things, I will definitely be back 🎉

My first ever public run in an event like this! Really well organised, was really pleasantly surprised by the amount of water/gels/snacks were freely avaialble. The course was clearly laid out, plenty of marshalls along the way, and everyone - including other runners - were really nice and encouraging. The area post race was nice as well. with plenty of free drinks, and stalls. We had pizza from the pizza stall after the race, really tasty and much needed! If I could say one thing to improve would be one more water station (not necessarily with all the snacks) as it was a hot day, and once the sun came out it became more difficult.
