In short: Fantastic Race
In full: The course is excellent and the hills provide a good challenge. The marshalls are very friendly and the bacon butty at the end was super value. Doe this 3 times now and will make it 4 next year. Well done to all involved.

In short: Very well organised, Fantastic race and views !!!
In full: Miles 1 to 4 the hills just keep coming and got steeper !!!! But the view over the top was breathtaking well worth the effort !!! the rest of the race downhill can make up time at this point !!! Overall a very enjoyable ( but hard ) race will be back next year !!!!

In short: Great Race to clear the cobwebs - but beware !!
In full: The hills live up to expectations as the climb from Longridge up to Jeffrey Hill and then Beacon Fell comes at you from miles 1 through to 5!! Absolute Killer hill to the 4 mile marker. Last 2 miles brilliant. DId them in 15 mins(7.30/m), when the other 5 took me 48 mins (9.40m)!! Tough Run, but worth the effort

In short: Very hilly and very challenging but amazing views well worth the effort
In full: This was my first time doing the Longridge 7 after hearing previous good reviews. The course is challenging yet well within the capabilities of the average runner. The views from the top were amazing and it's a pity it wasn't a clear day as I'm sure they'd take your breath away (if the hills didn't). The marshalling and other competitors were friendly and it's a course I'd make the effort to do again. The Christmas pudding at the end was a real treat. The downside was that on the start time was on the entry form and I posted that form to the organisers - I received my number and there was directions and starting place but no start time (thankfully I have access to here) but I think a bit more attention here would be a good idea.

In full: This is the 3rd year of Longridge. Weather dull and cold but not a icy as previous years. Enjoyed the run - hills remain the same challenging.
