Well organised in a unique location. Different and enjoyable experience although it was tough going.
Chris Leigh
Beautiful run on the Fitch Way.
Great organisation from start to finish.
Diane Treadwell
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

Always a massive fan of H&T running events. Well organised and attracts friendly & supportive fellow runners.
The medals are always amazing!

A fantastic local event
Thank you for such a brilliant, friendly event and such a great location too! Very well organised and fantastic having so many options on distance too, plus with the option of route!
Angela Duncan
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 !!

Christina Harding
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
Nicola Manuel
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.
Karen OGRADY

Everything is brilliant!
There is always a big welcome at Hare and Tortoise events. Always feels like coming home. Only downside, they dont always get the weather right. But, I wouldnt have it any other way. x

Another great run
Despite the conditions, all was good. Friendly, enthusiastic organisers. Clear route with good facilities (toilets, hall and snack/drinks table).
