I done the event last year and thought the markers weren’t great but this year it was much better. I think the organisation is great and runs a very smooth event.

Fab an friendly Marshalls.

Marshall’s were very happy to help with fuelling - such as refilling my bladder pack mid route - which I appreciated so much! There was a plentiful range of food and drinks and other helpful marshals at various points along the way! Absolutely stunning scenery and medical support helped me at the end - as I had a few minor wounds! Friendly event which I definitely recommend!

Have done the 50km route twice (2025 and 2026).

Fabulous organisation by Race Harborough. A few considerations for people weighing up this option:

- Beautiful countryside scenery with fields, pasture, and canal to run through / around / along.
- Definitely hilly, and there are a large number of stiles that you have to climb over which interrupt your flow. If you're targeting a personal best then choose a different route. If you are not concerned about doing the fastest 50km you can find then crack on, you will love this course.
- There's a ~800 meter long tunnel you head through on the route at around 22km. It is pitch dark in there. You must bring a dedicated torch for this, however sunny the day is - I promise you, the torch on your mobile phone will DEFINITELY NOT COPE with you moving at any speed above a cautious walk. This is all clearly explained in the race pack, but I know not everyone reads it carefully!

Overall:
Sign up, you definitely won't regret it, unless you're determined to find the fastest 50km route you can.
