The course was beautiful but not easy as there were areas very uneven which was tough on the feet and legs but the set up, atmosphere, fun and support more than made up for it. I’m elated!

I think the description could be better. The value for money is incredible but I had no idea until I joined you… the flags, set up, route directions, aid station, all the food and drink and party…!
It’s one of the more expensive events I’ve done but by far the most value for money.. tell everyone!
And your team are all worth your weight in gold. Thank you

I'm not good with phrases, but it's always a good event.

It's been suggested to me from runners that you should emphasise the amount of support you give to runners on this event - pizza, chili, cheesy beans, tea & coffee, great medal and goody bag. All of the is far above other events. Make more of a promotion of this and change the date to a different bank holiday and the event will continiue to be a winner. Thanks Pete & Bev always love your events as you well know. See you at the next one. Andy

Awesome event in every way

The organisers really put their heart and soul into this event. The atmosphere, scenery, support, venue and motivation is first class.

Your usual fantastic H & T event!

Had a great time at this event. The set up and everything was faultless as usual and the organisers and helpers are very friendly and make you feel right at home from beginners to the more experienced. A great event for those looking to beat their PB over distance or just try something new.

Brilliant event

Superb organisation, encouragement, crew, selection of food and drink on offer throughout. Just a shame it wasn't better supported by people running. It's an ideal entry level event, or a great event if you want to increase you're distance pb or gain and get lots of "time on feet"

Amazing First Ultra Run

Amazing organisation, support & encouragement, clean facilities, amazing and delicious food, plentiful hydration, friendly and supportive fellow participants and a super medal! What more to say but thanks to everyone involved for making my first ever Ultra Marathon an amazing experience Thank you all.

This was a very welcoming event. It didn't have any of the intimidating bravado that can sometimes (unintentionally) become attached to some of these endurance events

A very friendly and welcoming event. It was welcoming to, and supportive of, all abilities.

My first Outrun!

This was my first time participating in anything like this and wasn’t sure what to expect. I needn’t have worried. The organisers were friendly and very supportive. At no time was I treated like a rookie. There was nothing more they could have done.
The medal, alone, we got for entering was worth it but, for winning our category, we got the most awesome piece of original “Running Art”. That was the cherry on the cake!

Friendly supportive event with a real personal touch you don't get at mass events.

Can the grass be racked next time?!

Excellent event

Hare & Tortoise always know how to put on a good show. Great event organised by lovely people and taking part with crazy like minded people. Would highly recommend any event organised by Hare & Tortoise. Outrun 24 had great views, it was tough in places but fellow runners definitely keep you going, especially during the night time part. Pretty achey right now but one to keep in mind for another time. Thank you and well done to everyone
