Great race with some tricky sand and trail sections in a beautiful location. Friendly team, fab aid stations and a lovely medal.

Fantastic event, I’ve been waiting 3yrs for this to happen, will definitely be back in the near future. Well organized, great location, challenging course, excellent choice of refreshments at the aid station, goody bag at the end of the race is a nice touch.

Was a great event, very well organised, marked out route was clear, everything was professional from the set up, race briefing and how the route was mapped out as well. Highly recommend this one

My first hare and tortoise event and it did not disappoint.
Very well organised from start to finish. Really lovely atmosphere all through the event. I would definitely recommend this race if you are looking for a challenge. The beach run at the end will just about finish you off! The fuel stations are very well stocked with lots of treats and the goody bags at the end, well what can i say. Thank you so much for a fab event. Keep up the good work.

Thoroughly enjoyed it! Excellent organisation. Friendly marshals, helpful to have some circulating amongst the runners before the start to answer any questions & ensure we knew where to go. Well stocked checkpoints. Perhaps not one for complete trail run beginners due to very uneven terrain in some parts.
Thank you to friends and strangers for picking me up after a tumble and encouraging me on my way. Loved the medal and the race numbers.

This event was one of hardest but most enjoyable I’ve run. Well organised from start to finish with beautiful scenery but the terrain was tough! Looking forward to next year.

Cannot praise this event enough! Although it was tough it was just the best! I would run it again in a heartbeat

Really well organised, great atmosphere and awesome medal and goody bag

Really good race, well organised, great views, no problem with the directions on the course, good water stations. Brutal finished on the beach, which I could have done without, but guess that is part of the tradition.

Good review on www.essexrunners.com/round-mersea-island

thank you for putting pn such wonderful events, they are my absolute favourite to attend.

As another great event, feed stations as always great. The little bag at the end is a wonderful treat! (Can we skip the bananas though, I don’t like them

Great atmosphere, the flags around the course were really helpful. Thank you for a good race.

Thoroughly enjoyed the run - Great scenery and route . Brilliant trail run .. well organised ( as to be expected from a H&T event )
Would 100% recommend

Such a great run today on Mersea Island! I’ve run this route many times by myself, so it was great to do it with lots of people and get a medal at the end. A few runners and I did get lost coming through the caravan site, as we couldn’t find the blue flags, but we managed to find our way to the other flags on the other side. I hope to run this race again next year!
