Brilliant trail race! Really enjoyed it.
The atmosphere along the route was great, clearly well organised, lovely hilly course. My only tiny negative would be that it would have been nice to do a loop really close to the monument at the top. Otherwise loved it and will be returning!!

great day
Great half half marathon today—such a brilliant route and a lovely atmosphere throughout. The finish had a really special touch this year with the Rock Choir, which made it even more memorable. I also loved how the finish line was set up—definitely a great day all round!

Great scenery, challenging route
An excellent route through Dorset’s countryside. Lots of challenging hills and really great support from Marshalls and Aid stations.
