In short: Superb, hard but you'll finish with a huge smile
In full: Brilliant event! Incredible scenery on a challenging course. The 'Sting In the Tail' climb was painful but you can enjoy the pelt downhill all the way to the finish where cheers & drums await you!

In short: Uplifting, challenging, stunning
In full: Absolutely superb event. My fourth Hawkshead run now and they seem to get better & better. Time has improved by 19 mins in 2 yrs. Addition of the 10k really added to the atmosphere & potential for a family day. Scenery incredible.

In short: My 3rd year and a PB by 11 mins! Great kids run made for a superb family day out too - capped by winning Puma Nightfox in the prize draw...
In full: Fantastic event set in stunning scenery of real contrasts. Took family up again and despite the rain it was a superb family day. The kids trails help massively in this respect. Achieved a new PB and will definitely be back next year!

In short: 2nd time & in danger of becoming an annual habit
In full: What a race! Incredible view from Lonscale Crags made the climb & training so worthwhile :-) Great opportunity to beat previous time, challenging, cracking atmosphere. Kids loved their fun trails - a brilliant family day all round. Roll on Coniston!
