Amazing course, enough points to drink water.

Not for the weak! Really recommended if you are fit, but make sure you train running up- and downhill, because there's a lot of it.

Outstanding scenery

Done this 3 times now and gets better every year. Well organised with amazing views along the way. One of the friendliest half marathons I have done.

Challenging but fantastic scenery and organisation

This is certainly challenging due to the hills (both up and down) but the scenery is fantastic. A well organised event with some fantastic volunteers

Beautifuly tough!!!

This is definitely a race to test your limits! Enjoyed every minute, the beauty of the surroundings keeps you going! Mile 11 is grueling! I cant wait to conquer it next year.

Demanding course in 3 phases, great challenge beautiful scenery.

Lovely, friendly volunteers, well organised, 2 very challenging hill phases but beautiful course. Well worth doing again, but beginners and unprepared beware it will test you.

Tough but well worth it

Maybe slightly overcrowded near the start with registration, the toilets and the start line all in the same small space. Other than that it was great.

Incredible event - incredible scenery, incredibly friendly, incredibly hard!

A half marathon with a difference. Might entice people enter fell/mountain running events.
