Welcoming event, really interesting course in a great venue.

Prior to the event, Wild Deer were great at transferring my entry when daughter couldn’t make the 5k.
Second time here- Culzean is really not too far from Glasgow (1hr).
Bit more wetness this year so trail sections of the course muddy fun, but still really runable.
Wild Deer have picked a great route through Culzean Estate away from the main paths, and the variety breaks up the route really well.
Volunteers and team really friendly and encouraging, and nice relaxed feel to the event.
I ran 1/2 option, but 5k and 10k options available as well.
Culzean cafe nice pre- and post- race options.

I love this race.

As an NTS member I do object to paying £6 for parking. However it is an excellent venue and race, albeit a tough one.

A tough run in soggy conditions

Not the easiest run but worth doing if you fancy trying off road for the first time

Well organised, inclusive event on brilliant trails

As first female it would have been nice to have a marshal or organiser at the end to announce the first male and female and congratulate them as it is a big achievement. I understand that these events are not about winning but as an ordinary working mum that runs, it is a massive achievement. It would of been nice for it to have been recognised by someone at the end.

Lovely setting with great course albeit a lot of very muddy sections which I found great fun but might not be for beginners. Staff and Volunteers were all very friendly and route was really well marked and marshalled.

Really well organised and well ran (no pun intended)

Third time I've attended this event and it's always a friendly atmosphere and really well organised. Culzean is a great venue and really enjoyed despite lots of rain and mud.

Challenging but rewarding route. Scenery needs your attention!

Another brilliant run at Culzean Castle with Wild Deer Events. The weather may not always shine but these events do! Thank you for all your efforts.

The race was so much fun, the rain & mud made it even more so.

The socks were a very nice touch when you’re only expecting a bottle of water, can’t wait for more wild deer events ✌️
