In short: Award for best marshals!
In full: If there was a Runners World awards category for best marshalling and organisation, this event would take it hands down.
Despite the extreme conditions, an army of passionate marshals braved freezing weather and continuos snow to make this run an absolute delight.
Beautiful scenery, challenging cross-country terrain, natures choice of mud or snow, great camaraderie and a nice t-shirt at the end - what more could a runner want.
My second time at the Benfleet 15 didn't disappoint. A huge thanks to the wonderful team that make it happen.

In short: Full of spirit but challenging conditions
In full: Despite the snow making the course tricky and unique, the scenery was outstanding as were the marshalls high spirits for the day. Hats off to the marshalls for standing out in it for hours on end. Very well organised and a great sense of acheivement

In short: An excellent muti terrain race with great support along the way.
In full: A superb effort by Benfleet to get the race on and the marshalls for standing around for hours in the snow today. It would have been easy to have called it off but full credit and what an experience. Many thanks again.

In short: Amazing.....
In full: Can't thanks the organisers enough for allowing the race to go ahead despite the snowy conditions. The marshalls were absolutely amazing,loads of them & every one of them smiling & with words of encouragement. First time I have completed this race but one of my all time favourites & will definitely do it again.
