First time I've done this race, and what a brilliant event it was.
The course was 1x 13.1mile lap for the half marathon or 2x laps for the full marathon. Race started on canal path, did a little out & back before going through a mixed terrain of trails, hills' paths & mud. It was very challenging in places but there were fast sections also.
The course was well signposted and well marshalled.
I did find the 2x lap marathon mentally tough but it was so much easier once I started 2nd lap.
The course had some lovely views.
Water stations were regular. IGUN events are now cup less.
Finishers received a solid medal, chocolate, beer and the usual home baked cake.
In summary -
Absolutely loved this event. The varied terrain made it challenging in places but the fast sections make up for that.
Thank you IGUN for a superb day.
