If your looking to do the full or half distance at Hever Castle, I can not recommend this one enough!!! It is relaxed and really really great value for money.
No matter which distance you choose, it will be a tough day! This course makes so many other 'toughest races in the world' look like delicate little fairies.
The swim is stunning and in a lake. So faster swimmers would be able to get some good PB times here.
The bike course is constantly testing. It is up and down from start to finish. The 3 laps of 60k make it great to see spectators as you circle past the Hever Castle entrance before heading back in to T2.
The run course is no different to the bike course....it will make the toughest cry. It is mostly off road and is stunning the whole way round.
Personally the biggest plus for this event is the marshals and event organisers. I can not fault how friendly, organised and safe they were all day. Again, in regards to the marshals, I think they put a few of the big names to shame with their organisation.
If your reading this review and are on the fence about if you should push that enter for 2018…DO IT!! you wont be disappointed!!
