Good event but there were a couple of logistical hiccups that could be fine-tuned for future races.

The 2025 50km was a challenging but very satisfying event. Aid stations were well stocked with fruit/crisps/gels/energy bars/electrolytes and the people there were amazing: filling water bottles for us & making sure we were taking enough nutrition on. There were medics at each for support if needed too. The team took the time to tell us how far it was to the next aid station and remind us of what the next section had to bring. The route was perfectly marked throughout - definitely the best course marking I’ve seen. The main ascent required a bit of straightforward scrambling near the top. The main decent was very slippy and steep - definitely a challenge and I do have an impressive bruise from it. Lots of bogs at the bottom to enjoy even after a dry summer. Beautiful views throughout - mountains & sea! Great organisation at the start and finish. Local coffee/food stalls at the end were all excellent quality and great value. Appreciated the free can of beer at the end too! Overall it was well organised, had a great atmosphere and would definitely recommend Ultra X events to others after my experience.
