Fantastic

This is a home half/marathon and shows off the best of the SDW with elevation, stunning scenery and ancient trails. Great organisation, aid stations and a real club feeling. Love it!

Great

I love this event. Atmosphere is great, running is tough, but well worth it ☺️

All the half marathon aid stations were excellent.

Maybe people need a bit more structured warning, as to when they should arrive, to manage registration, the toilet and bag drop.
Parking was very convenient.

Best race I’ve done!

Gorgeous scenery, great aid stations, and a well organised event. Some tough hills but that’s all part of it! My fave run to date!

Tough

This is a tough event. The cut of time is very tight. Would of preferred a metal medal.

Challenging but fun

Scenery and views are fantastic.
The run has some long hard uphills but on the plus side you get to run down once you’ve reached the top

A beautiful hilly, challenging trail run

It’s only a ‘maybe’ for beginners because the course is tough but it is a very friendly and welcoming run.

Absolutely love this event. It is tough but so very much worth it.

Seamless registration and I upgraded which was simple. Great marshaling. Cakes on aid stations. Lovely route and fantastic finish area. Thank you.

Bello il percorso ma non l‘attenzione ai podisti

Parlo della mezza maratona. La gara é stata bellissima, percorso segnalato, ristori con cibo e acqua molto ben organizzati.
Sono arrivata prima donna e non c’è stato neppure il nastro di arrivo! Nessuna premiazione, insomma una delusione per me. Dopo 21km di fatica neppure un podio dove festeggiare il primo posto. Spero davvero di ricevere un bel premio e anche (in aggiunta al premio) l‘iscrizione gratuita per l anno prossimo. Sperando che l‘anno prossimo siano premiati sul palco almeno i primi 3 uomini e le prime 3 donne assolute.

Great run and scenery is glorious

Parking was on the street and not organised. Everything else- food stations were well stocked and variety of snacks. No TShirts given at the end when we were told there were.

Stunning, scenic and a great event

Such a well organised event, brilliantly marshalled and a fantastic route that shows off a beautiful part of the country. The South Downs really do take some beating! It's a tough course for sure but I loved it

I did it for the views and I wasn’t disappointed!

My first time doing the half. What a fabulous race - great views, lovely marshalls, a friendly bag drop and cake at the end, what more could I want? Some confusion over parking at the start, but apart from that all good. Highly recommended.
