Another great H&T event

These events are truly for everyone, no matter what your running level may be. A massive thank you to the H&T team who are always so welcoming and supportive, whether this was your first race with them or a seasoned ticket holder!

I also have to congratulate them on the treats at the aid stations and the amazing medals at each of their events - it was a lovely to be able to choose one of your past amazing medals at this event.

Inclusive atmosphere

The disadvantage of having short out and back loops, in not all that amazing scenery is made up for by the fact you are never alone and you keep running towards happy faces, sharing words of encouragement with each other. Everyone is on a different journey, so no one feels under pressure or awkward that they are walking, or not "keeping up".

Well organised in a unique location. Different and enjoyable experience although it was tough going.

Friendly and well organised

First time on a hare and tortoise event and only signed up a few weeks ago. Was surprised to see that all the morning events were sold out and only the afternoon half marathon available, which suited me anyway as I like a lay in on Sunday.
Must be a good event if it was sold out so snapped up my entry at a very reasonable price.

Turning up and the morning races were coming to an end and the 6 hour challenge in full swing. Had a lovely coffee in the tea room there and waited for are race to begin.
Well planned out course and loved the freedom of running both sets of 5km courses. We done 2 laps in each but could do your favourite 4 times if you wanted.
Although we didn’t stop long, the feed stations were well stocked including fruits, sweets, soft drinks and my personal favourite, fredo bars.
Finishing up we had the choice of medals which I found a bit strange. Would like to see a dedicated medal to each event but I picked the original colours and wore it with pride on the walk back to the car.

I liked the fact there was a heated changing room in the form of the scout hut 20m away and was a very well organised event.
Got my results that evening too so massive kudos to them.

Will be back for another event in the future

Organiser comment:

Thank you for your kind words about the event and we are delighted that you had a great time! Just in response to your comment about the medal - all our other races have a dedicated medal and this event was created solely to enable runners to snag a medal that they might have missed for any reason!

Totally inclusive

We are always welcomed and given the same kudos as the faster runners. We are never made to feel a burden despite always being the last to finish and leave with the bonus bananas xxx

LOVE this event

Amazing support and lots of encouragement by the hosts and other runners. Great aid station and snacks / drinks. Great routes either side out and back which makes it feel less pressure like other events as you can have a break and go back out at your own pace. Can’t wait for next year !!

1st half marathon in years

Decided to book this event as it was local and I wanted something to get me training through the winter after getting very lazy with my training.
The plan was to run with no pressure and just enjoy the day. This was my first H&T event, and I have to say the loops worked really well as I tended to focus on the short loop rather than the full distance. Before I knew it I had completed the distance and was done. The support was amazing and the snacks provided even better (haven’t had a Freddo for years)! A great, well organised local event. Will definitely be looking at other H&T events

Another great event!

I love the events, it’s a shame I moved away and can’t do as many as I’d want. I loved being able to have an old/ different medal to the Rayne one I have from the Covid sale.
Your events are great for beginners (depending on how much they’ve run before) and it is a community, it’s always lovely to have the better runners smile or congratulate or encourage others when running past.
I champion your events for this reason, the bling (medals) & drinks/ food stop.
