This was the first time I'd run Elsecar trail marathon. This Christmas themed race had a variety of distance options. I ran the marathon.
Route consisted of 4x 6.7mile laps, which can be mentally tough if you allow it. On this particular day it was quite wet & muddy but overall the paths were decent and the trail was not technical at all.
It was very well organised and theres always a friendly atmosphere at their events.
Marshals were awesome as always.
Finishers received a lovely medal and there was the usual home baked cake, beer & chocolate and even a BBQ.
I can't speak highly enough about IGUN events. They're just great. I'll certainly be back at this event in 2020.
This event also has a 2nd day with lower distance options.
