Brilliant Event from start to finish.

A great 10k!

Challenging, but not too challenging! I really recommend the Half Hardy Half, with a mixture of road a trails and a lovely scenic route, plus a free half of beer at the end! Brilliant!

Simply brilliant

Everything was great. I only did the 10k but it was a wonderful atmosphere. Whether you are trying a 10k or going for elite times this was a brilliant race and so friendly. Well laid out with plenty of signs and marshals who were all our best cheer squad and made sure we didn’t get lost!

Loved this trail route, fantastic volunteers, great race village. Enjoyed the rock choir and 1/2 pint at the end, courtesy of Cerne Abbas Brewery. Thank you for making my Sunday

My first time at this event, and I loved it!

Fabulous scenery, friendly marshals (some who would have been out there for hours), well-stocked aid stations with lovely fresh fruit, excellent organisation and a very welcoming atmosphere. As a slower runner, I really appreciated the generous cut off time, too.

Great race,well marshalled and lots of refreshments after

I can do without a medal personally as have so many! Perhaps a cake token not a beer token, or both! I don't drink, and neither do a lot of other runners

A beautiful, well signposted course with bagpipes to boot. What more could you want?.

I loved how cheerful and encouraging all the marshals were.

Friendly and Well Organised

Fabulous organisation and support! Stunning scenery. 10/10 for everything. My coaster keepsake is in pride of place and will be I. Constant use as a reminder of a fabulous day.

I loved this event!

The views were amazing and the route had variety that stopped me from thinking about being tired! The marshals were so lovely, my favourite being the lady who shouted the aid station is in 1 and a half kilometres and then played her recorder /pipe for us

Great event, organised very well.

My only bit of negative feedback is focused on the medal. It had no ribbon, who wants a medal with no ribbon? That could definitely be improved for next year.

Really well organised and so friendly. The course is tough but it's amazing to be able to run like this in our beautiful area. Great marshals too!
