In short: Excellent course with top support. Rory and Jen put on a great event!
In full: This would be excellent for anyone thinking about taking the leap in to ultra distances. Only one or two tough climbs and a nice finish outside the castle in Nottingham. Well marked overall. Organisation excellent and well marshalled and supported throughout.

In short: A great introduction to the world of the Ultra run.
In full: Being my first ultra I was apprehensive to say the least, however I need'nt have been. The organisation of this event was first class, coaches from Nottingham centre to the start, maps provided, a great route with some challenging undulations, friendly marshalls with nice goodies at check points. The finish was great with lots of support to encourage you up the hill to the finish. The medal provided is a great momento as is the Ultra race top included in the entry fee. Overall I think the Ultra race team did a great job and I will definetely be back next year.

In short: Brilliant organisation, tough course but very rewarding
In full: My first trail ultra - after 32 previous road ultras of varying distances this has to rate as the toughest 50k I've every done but would I do it again? - you're damn right I would.

In short: Could not fault this race
In full: Very well organised & friendly. Navigation was easy as the route was well marked. Undulating at times but mostly very runable. Generous refreshments at CPs. Good technical t-shirt at end. Ideal for a first time ultra but just as fun for experienced runners.
