A challenging but stunning course

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

Great course

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

Brutal hills, beautiful humans, RIP to my ego.

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.

This was incredibly hilly so was a tough race!! Great challenge though. The atmosphere was great, there was a good turn out, it was well marshalled.

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.

Fun, friendly, well organised

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!

Well organised and very friendly volunteers

Very little vegetarian food, only thing I could eat was a cheese and onion sausage roll, all the sandwiches and wraps were meat, that could be why so many were left at the end.

Hottest run ever! Challenging, hilly but enjoyable!

Great event, my second time and although I struggled with the hills in the intense heat, I feel a great sense of achievement finishing it. Marshals & all involved were fantastic. Thank you all. Preferred this one to my first time.

Gorgeous route, excellent marshals and signage, great treats at the end.

I did sign up for the beer and burger to be honest, but you could tell a lot of effort had been put into the buffet replacement so well done for a great post run tea!
