A warm day at the farm.

Excellent and well run event, with marshals around the course to make sure everyone was safe in the heat. Would recommend Zig Zag events for everyone from the international athletes to beginners and social runners too!!

Excellent trail race, friendly and supportive

Well organised as always, clearly marked. Great parking, good snacks, drinks, cake and coffee all spot on!
More portaloo’s is only think I would change.

Really well organised in a beautiful setting

This was my second zig zag running event this year and again it was incredibly well organised. Good pre event instructions and really easy to find and park up. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming, it’s akin to being welcomed into a really friendly club. The events are probably what you would regard as low key, the participants number in the low hundreds, not the thousands like other events. The routes can be a challenge and probably none more so than today with very high temperatures, no shade and undulations on the route, however, that just presents a bigger challenge

Excellent event - Defeated by the heat

Excellent event and route but sadly I was defeated by the extreme heat. Upon arrival, the event was clearly well run. After a seamless sign up, we had a brief break to organise our fuelling and we were afforded plenty space to do so. The route was very pleasant and marathon distance would have been achievable on another day, however the conditions meant that for me and my friend, this was unachievable. There was no judgement from the race team for dipping out early and we were given alternative medals for completing a "Heavy Half Marathon" which we were delighted with. The route was easy to follow and the race staff were very friendly throughout. I'll definitely sign up to events in the future and hopefully not melt in the heat!

Great organisers, atmosphere

Great event. Marshalls, organisers, and everyone who helped run this event was very kind and helpful. The atmosphere was very friendly and open which i appreciated as a first timer. Snacks and drinks felt like a blessing from above especially in the heat. Only asterisk is the whole bring your own cup but it proved to be not as significant as expected. 100% would recommend. Great experience.

First half marathon - would return

Very small event which was perfect for my first half. Friendly organisers and the Marshalls around the course were great. Hard , hot and hilly but would definitely return!

Top Class First Class Organization and Event. Would recommend to all.

A well organised event, with great support from parking, to marshalling and all the Zig Zag staff.
A sunny day, a trail course with some short up hills and fast down hills to make up the time.
Would definitely recommend this event as a run to do!
Well done Zig Zag on an another great run.

Great Event

Nice course, challenging in parts but beautiful setting. Well organised and friendly atmosphere. Loved it.

Made to feel very welcome.

I think that because it was such a hot day it would have been easier to run in the opposite direction. You would have been able to maintain a better speed as it would have been more down hill and the up hill part would have been more in the shade.
