Best Marshalls in town
Sweeper was amazing
First time doing this race, and really enjoyed the varied and challenging route
Only negative was the mass of plastic cups at the water points. Unless you are using up old supplies, surely this isn't really the right approach in 2024? Runners can easily carry their own container, whether water bottle or soft silicone cup - and can fill up from water containers if needed. Also cups were not being promptly collected from the ground - they were blowing around everywhere and it's highly likely that some would not be recovered afterwards. Even small single use paper cups would be better!
Great event, well organised
Great Event as always
The bottleneck zones at mile 2 was frustrating but a welcomed rest.
The new all weather paths within the first and last mile of the race took at look for mud and enjoyment out of the race but didn’t take away the overall feel of the race and these issues are beyond the control of nice work and BRC.
As ever, will be back next year
Hadleigh Himalayas!
So well organised. Special thanks to all the Marshalls/first aiders for standing around in the cold for hours! With out all of you giving up your time there would be no B15!!!!
Challenging
Great all round run, nice to run on a safe route which still was very well marshalled
Really fun event on a challenging course.
Great race, great cheering from Marshall’s etc
Challenging terrain but thats why we keep on coming back!
A proper challenge of a race
The queue at the kissing gate at the second mile was not ideal. Volunteers were exceptional, specifically the ones at the hill on the last mile!
Brilliant event, 10/10
Your hard work organising didn’t go to waste or unnoticed, thank you x
Brilliant event
Great atmosphere loved running up through the crowds at the end super challenge of an event will definitely do it again.
Fantastic New Year Challenge
Kept me motivated over Christmas and new year.
Amazing despite challenging muddy hills… loved it
Definitively worth giving it a go!
One of the best events I’ve done in a while
Soo enjoyable, excellent organisation. Great atmosphere and a challenging and in place brutal course but will be one I do again. Thank you to all of the people involved in organising the event and the volunteers that gave up their time to make it possible to put on!!
Well organised.
Excellent event. The marshals were particularly good, authoritative and gave both clear directions and encouragement.
Great race, not for the fainthearted
Would be good to see I the event could be a bit more echo, was a shame to see all the plastic cups from drink stations on the floor and being blown into the area around
Great race
A tough race but well organised and friendly
Great marshals and on course support.
Really is a great event which I have done 8 times now.
Constructive suggestion to perhaps have more helpers in the baggage drop closer to race time. I like many others like to drop bags closer to start time so we can keep some layers on and keep warm before the race start.
It’s a shame there are no showers available to use. With a long journey home and lots of mud it would be great to have a shower post event. I do recall showers being available previously.
Thanks for a great event. See you next year.
Well organised challenging trail run
Well organised and always a challenging course which varies depending on weather conditions. Good atmosphere. Disappointing to see so much plastic used in the form of cups and medal casing.
