Agree with the cool box for beer.
Chopwell woods is not the best sign posted . A Wild Deer event flag would be a help where you turn from the Consett road up to the woods

Great organisation, fabulous summer buffet after, cracking event.
One thing I need to bring to your attention is I was running with my collie Frankie who was attacked by another dog with a spectator, luckily it was muzzled or things could have been nasty, it physically dragged the lady minding it across the path

Great route even if a bit tough, great terrain and exceptionally marshalled.

Maybe a cool box to store beers in

Despite the heat and the tough course, this was a great run. Beautiful scenery, well-organised, and extremely friendly volunteers who helped me get through the full 15 miles!

A massive thank you to all the volunteers- from the marshalls to the lovely girls at the finish line making sure we re-fuelled post run. Lovely atmosphere and super friendly people.

Expect a hilly course lots of downhill. Great underfoot. Ideal with dogs. Well signposted and marshalled

will be looking to do more of these events. thanks for having me

Ridiculously hot so everyone given the option to change their distance on the day,safety over everything
Friendly marshalls,encouraging at every step.
Beautiful setting,brilliantly run!
Cheers x

A masterclass in how to deliver a punishing trail run wrapped in a giant, warm hug. The hills absolutely demoted me from "runner" to "crawler," but the vibe was so friendly and supportive that I didn't even mind. Everyone looks out for each other out there. Highly recommend if you like great views and being deeply humbled.

My only criticism was that there just weren’t enough water stations for the temperature that it was yesterday and the cups they were handing out had a shot of water in at best, at one point towards the end of the 15 miles I was just so thirsty, I did have a running vest on with a drink within that but given the temperature I’d finished that by mile 10.

As usual Wilddeer held a very well organised event. It was lovely running along the trails and through the woods. The buffet, organised in the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances, was lovely, a picnic in the woods in a very chilled atmosphere.

Everyone, all the volunteers, Marshall's and runners, as usual were brilliant, fun, supportive and well, just lovely all round.

I loved it! Even the heat. Even the hills.

Well done again Wilddeer!

Fantastic event set in some amazing scenery. Well organised.
