In short: Great event, great to have an event of this calibre so local. Plenty of water at various points and some good camaraderie at the later stages when the hills seemed to get bigger and steeper! Would definitely like to do this event again. Date of review: April 11, 2012

In short: Brilliant event, just a shame about the soup In full: This was a great event and well done to the Claire House team for doing so well on a first attempt. Hopefully it will become a regular event. If we are looking for improvements for next year it could be with regard to the 'soup at halfway'. It wasn't there when I came through and I am not that fast and I wasn't in the first wave. Despite this it was a fantastic day in unbeatable surroundings. Date of review: April 3, 2012

In short: Hills In full: An excellent event. The organisation was good, the scenery spectacular and the hills steep. I've run a few marathons, none have given me more sense of achievement than this one. Date of review: April 2, 2012

In short: Fantastic event on the glorious Clwydian hills, tough but very rewarding and well organised. In full: A mixed terrain race, mainly off road with a large amount of ascent particularly in the second half of the race.Very well organised with staggered start times to prevent too many people on the course together- worked very well. Walkers as well as seasoned fell runners catered for with some excellent runners present and nivices alike. Plenty of water available on route with soup at half way and stew at the finish. Overall superb and I will definately be back. Date of review: April 2, 2012
