This is by far one of the best and most well organised events on the calender. All marshalls were smiling and helpful to athletes making the day far more enjoyable particularly when your feeling a little tired mid way. The welcoming and friendly attiude of the staff can be seen from teh first registration.

The course is unique in it having the bridges out and back to contend with on the run. You can almost hear the Rocky Soundtrack playing as you climb. I love this part as it's such a challenge to your tired legs which I know of in no other event. The only downside is the hedges overgrowing onto the paths during the run which make things a little difficult.

At the finish line the reception you are greeted with is second to none by everyone involved and the photographs being free are a bonus.

A bespoke medal designed for this event would be better than the Xtra Mile Events medal they use for most races albeit with a different ribbon though, but the quality of the finishers tshirt is good which is why I dont mind purchasing this seperately. 

I would recommend this race to all athletes regardless of their level. Great atmosphere too.
