Hard work but enjoyable

Not knowing if you are headed in the correct direction, let alone the best one, adds a sense of risk. WE had no intention of being competitive, which eliminated any associated stress. Instead we enjoyed the Thames and then Oxford City (which tells you we were far from on the best route)!

Well-organized, very unique, very fun

Wonderful crowd, small-ish race, fun environment that's not super competitive because of the nature of the race. (Being blindfolded in a bus with ~70 others, all wearing bright orange blindfolds, is a very memorable experience!)

And definitely a challenge, but one that feels safe, doable, and adventurous.

A real challenge

Me and my sister did this because we’ve done half marathons and assault courses and we wanted a challenge and this was it. The challenge of studying a place we didn’t know and the routes: the thrill of going down a road when others went a different way and discovering the footpath you hoped was there, and whilst it was a race there never felt any pressure to try and come first. And everyone else running was really friendly. Definitely doing more

A mad concept but great fun

Really enjoyed the event, it's nice to go on a run without the pressure of a time or a distance. A really enjoyable day, with the lovely weather helping
