Brutal But Fun.
The event was fantastic 1st time I have taken part in it. Everything seemed to work & worked well. Benfleet running club marshals were excellent as well preformed their duties at really high standards. Definitely will recommend. Lcpl Banham.
Good all round event challenging never gets any easier great support from all the marshals Thankyou
This is the 3 rd time I have ran this event - last time was 2013 in the snow !
Which was stunning ! The Canvey wall in that wind and any time is a slog mind over matter -can be boring- the 1 st and last part is much more interesting & scenic . Lots of friendly faces and great atmosphere in places !
Marshals were great
Very well organised event. Thank you Benfleet. Once again you have delivered a fantastic event.
Many thanks to the organisers and all the marshals. You have all done fantastic job. This was my second time and the weather was even better this time.
Excellent - as always!
A brilliant race! Gets better year on year.
Very well organised, fantastic support and marshalling throughout.
See you next year.
If you fancy a challenge…!
Fantastic event! Congratulations especially to all the marshals! The only criticism was the bottle neck caused at the kissing gate at the 1.6 mile point mark when runner density was still high. Some runners chose to ignore the mashals directions and vault a wide gate some 25 yards earlier and thereby gaining at least 30 seconds or more. This choke point should be removed for next time.
Brilliant well organised run!
As a person that completes in around 3 hours, (this is just an observation) there are a lot of people that cross in front of you as you try to finish. I don't know if this could be funnelled in a better way?
This was my 3rd B15 and am already looking forward to next year. Well done for organising such a great event.
Supportive environment, especially if this is you first 15mile race.
Great event - think we got lucky with the mud - could have been worse... Awesome!!
Picked up a late entry from a friend who was injured.
Thought the event was excellent - really enjoyed it!!
Would be interested in coming back again next year.
Great challenging event
Was my first one and although a really tough course really enjoyed it
Love it and hate it in equal measure!!!
There seemed to be more kissing gates this year with no other option. This caused large bottlenecks and backups
The race that keeps dragging you back!
Brilliant marshalls as always - super supportive, encouraging words, great snacks!
Great trail run. Great views. Great challenge.
A really good, really challenging trail run. Marshalls were friendly. Shame the weather was very grey, as it didn't show off the great views as much as it could, but you can't control the weather, so nothing to do with the organisers!! The 2020 event was cold but the sky was very blue, so the course looked more amazing.
Excellent course, hope to be back next year.
Iconic but challenging race
The organisers would be friendly to beginners, but it should be clear that the course is not - someone turning up for a fun run would be put off the sport for life!
Great tough challenge
Challenging!
Really appreciated the encouragement from all the marshals and especially from Lee, the tail runner.
A good challenge!
Loved the vibe..
Highly organised, superb Marshalls, fantastic support.
Couldn’t fault the organisation - even had Marshalls helping with the car parking. Clear emails sent beforehand so we knew what to expect, and plenty of enthusiastic Marshalls around the course.
Challenging but fun.
A race if you are looking for a challenge, or training for The Grizzly, or Spring Marathon
