Challenging but beautiful course. Very well organised. Super friendly marshals.
Suzanne Beattie
Fantastic route, organisation, volunteers and drinks stations
I really enjoyed this event - I'd highly recommend it. Stunning route and views and very well organised. Marshals and volunteers were all so friendly and encouraging.
Gary Brown
Excellent event, superbly organised!
Yes, this event was brilliant. The scenery was stunning, the organisation was impeccable and the water stations and treat stations were plentiful. An exceptionally fantastic event!
Sara Davies
Very scenic but also a tough first half, worth it for the views and atmosphere, very friendly and well organised.
Marc Cappleman
An amazing run
Great event, organisation runs like clockwork so relaxed you can enjoy from the first step to the last. The views and the route are fab, a must do event year on year.
Marco Aveta
I was very happy with my first competitive Half Marathon
Overall l was very happy with the event, this was my first with Wild Deer but I will definitely do more in the future.
There was only one section very narrow which was very hard, if not impossible to take over people and even had to manage incoming walkers with dogs or strollers. Not sure if that could be changed for the future.
Also one possibility could be too have a wave, just for runners with dogs.
Other than that, I had a very positive experience. Thank you.
See you soon.
Paul Smith
Great route and friendly atmosphere
Philip Dyer
Brilliant first time trail run at this distance
Chris Wears
My first Wild Deer event. Won’t be my last!
Fantastic event. Every marshal was friendly and encouraging along the course which was greatly appreciated, especially in the latter miles. It was also very well organised, hats off to all the staff / volunteers involved. My first Wild Deer event. Most certainly not my last!
Iain Thompson
Loved it
I've probably taken part in over 100 races and I can't find fault with anything from this race - you managed it perfectly and I really enjoyed it.
Perhaps you could let runners know that road shoes aren't suitable (or safe)?
Elizabeth Jefferson
Scenic
The lady who was organising the buses was really helpful and very kind to me
Caroline Brash
Friendly, inclusive, challenging and stunning!
Jennifer Wealleans
Lovely come back run follow my recent ultra.
Andrew Harrison
fun, friendly, fantastic
The staggered starts made for a sense of freedom whilst still having people to run with
Penny Gibson
Beautiful route, friendly and fun
Thank you for Hadrian’s Wall half yesterday. Loved it ! Bit challenging for the first few miles and then just perfect running all the way to Hexham. Thanks for being supportive of back of the pack runners ( but we definitely needed jelly babies on the checkpoints!!) I liked the staggered start it meant there was no pressure on pace . Would love to do it again.
Jill Welsby
Great fun in a stunning location.
I had never seen Hadrian's Wall so thought this run would be fun, and it was! Really beautiful course, with the hard bit near the beginning, which I like! Very well organised and marshals were very friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back again next year.
Anna Cox
Brilliantly organised, friendly event with a challenging but beautiful route
Jennifer Elliott
A testing half marathon with great views
Very well organized, excellent value and thanks to all the volunteers. Nice run. Good views and Terrain was a good mix. Weather was kind and ground underfoot was decent.
Mary Shepherd
Friendly Half Marathon with Amazing Views
This was a well organised event and the staggered start took away any crowding which would have made it difficult to run. The views made this event so enjoyable to do.
Three aid stations for water only, but I was expecting some kind of snack at these. I ran one of the last waves, so I am not sure if they just ran out before I arrived. This was a bit disappointing especially as I know people who walked the event the previous day and they told me they were well stocked with food. Wooden medal, drinks, protein bar and t-shirt at finish.
Would recommend to anyone who likes a no-pressure trail half, but bring your own snacks and definitely stop to take photos.
Tracey Wise
Brilliant run & friendly atmosphere
Very well organised event, everyone is so friendly. Would highly recommend this event
