In short: like a music festival but with laps insted of bands
In full: 2nd year at the tr24 and am alrady planning the next one, the atmosphere is like nothing i have experienced at a race before, there is something for everyone here from hardcore soloists and pairs to a relaxed team of eight,everyone one on the course is willing to give encouragement and chat making for a great run.

In short: Tough as old boots, but great run
In full: Well organised event through some beautiful countryside, def on the tough side of hard with the ascent/descents involved. The only downside was covering some of the same ground twice on the ultra.

In short: Great Race for all abilities
In full: Managed too sneak in a pb but some of the mild bumps make it a bit interesting, my wife did it last year as her first ever race and loved it and it was equally brilliant this year, the T-shirt is rather snazzy too.

In short: Great team event
In full: Def not a PB course but great fun, atmosphere was great cant wait for next year, the course itself may not be beginner friendly but as long as your realistic about what you aim to acheive then i think even beginners would find this event great fun.

In short: Good race let down by the poor organisation at the finish
In full: The start was really well organised and the race itself was nice the water stops where brilliantly manned but the finish was a dissapointment reunoin signs need to be higher and better spaced as well as better marked(i walked round all the tents and charity area before locating them) as others have said tho great potential to be a fantastic race if the finish can be organised better.

In short: Well organised beautiful scenery
In full: For the first running of this event it was extremely well run, didn't need the map at all as it was well sign posted and marshalled,
the route is very sceneic but is over rolling country so prob not PB material.
