Had a brilliant time

I would and have been recommending this to friends. I think we’ll sign up for the one in Bath. Overall a great event. The only think I would like is more people on the 15 miler but I guess that would come with more exposure. A great concept and thank you for the event.

Great fun and a new running experience!

I was quite nervous beforehand having never done anything like this before but it was fun, friendly and i will definitely do it again, maybe next time the 15 miles!

Thoroughly enjoyable

Really enjoyed this. Organisers were super chilled on the day. Meant that whilst it was clear what you needed to do, it relaxed everyone (which was great, especially this being my first one). The route we took involved roads (no major ones), canal paths, cycle routes, nature reserves etc - exactly what we were after, albeit probably a lot of luck involved. The weather definitely helped and meant there were plenty of people out who we could ask for directions (not all of which were correct!!).

I would definitely recommend it, but even though we went relatively direct, we still did just over 15 miles on the 10 mile drop. So if you're thinking you'll only have to run 10 miles, be prepared to run a reasonable amount further

Excellent concept delivered superbly

Great day due to a fantastic organised event. Had a great day thanks to those who organised it. Not really for beginners, it could be hard work with a fair few miles to cover.

Great concept well delivered

It's a great event and adds a different dimension to the usual race you can sign up for. Organisation is really good and all info sent out in plenty of time. Get signed up and give it a go.

Fabulous concept, brilliant delivery, if you're looking for a running event with a difference, this is gor you!

The only reason it is potentially not beginner friendly is down to the mileage you end up running, which might be a bit far for those new to running. In terms of friendliness and fun - you couldn't ask for more!

Fun random adventure

Had a really good family day out and didn't fall out. Weather was a bonus and we managed not to come last! Thank you. Ready to book another!!

Fun but challenging enough

The route i ended up on was a bit dull. That's not the organisers fault.

I was expecting to be dropped in a woods or in a field after watering some YouTube reviews. But still ended up doing some trail routes.

Thanks.
