In short: Friendly, superbly organised event. Well done Kenilworth!
In full: Seven laps of the reservoir's 4.71 mile perimeter road, with an extra loop on the first lap to make up the accurately measured distance. Mile markers all the way to 35, plus marathon and 50k splits. What was flat on lap 1, became undulating on lap 3 and downright hilly from lap 5 onwards, but this is a fast course, though tough with the stiff breeze this year. Personally I didn't find the lap-format a problem as there was plenty to look at on and around the lake, plus other people using the same road. Not many marshalls needed on an easy to follow course, but those who were there were very friendly and supportive. Plenty of food and drink at the feeding station, plus space for your own table, cool box etc, and the goody bag was fine. I thought it was a great event from start to finish - well done Kenilworth!

In short: Good intro to ultradistrance, but the weather was cheeky
In full: Organisation and enthusiasm are first rate. The wind made this a tougher race than last year so good training in mental fortitude. I will be back

In short: Nice route (even as it laps), good organisation make for an fun race
In full: My first Draycote 35 and the furthest I have ever run. I am pretty tired today but the race was really well organised and the race marshals did a great job. The goody bag was nice too (although I think a medal would have been good for such a long race but I do like the T-shirt). Great race.

In short: First time over this distance , Loved it
In full: Great race I will be back next year. It was a bit windy a the start but luckily this dropped a bit and we had almost perfect conditions. The lap format means that you can leave your drinks/gels and pick up what you needed every 4/5miles so I was never under-fueled or dehydrated which is a first and meant finishd strongly.
Another must for next years calender :-)

In short: Excellant organisation, great venue and an enjoyable race
In full: My second Draycote 35 and knocked about 10 seconds off my time! Excellant organisation, great marshalls and a good course. Those 'undulations' get harder with each lap but provided shelter from the wind this year. Will be back!

In short: Thank you Kenilworth Runners for another great race
In full: This was my first ultra and I keep coming back. I would recommend it as a first ultra due to the circular course and excellent organisation. The marshals were superb and very considerate. Excellent good bag too.

In short: I love this race
In full: All the ingredients of a great event on a picturesque traffic free course. They even marked out marathon and 50k splits for us. I was almost sorry to do the last lap (well, almost!)
