Had a fantastic day

Definitely Great to have the registration where it was today. Made all the difference with keeping warmer. Very friendly atmosphere from start to finish. Thank you.

Thanks for your positive feedback about the change for this year - you have made Pete smile as it was his idea :-)

Excellent

I thought that the two water stations were too early in the run - would have preferred water stations in the latter part of the run - otherwise excellent run.

Strongly recommended!

Absolutely loved it. The wind was brutal, but I really enjoyed it. The scenery was stunning. I would do the 75-mile ultramarathon if I thought I could do it. I've already recommended it to multiple people and will be back next year. I doubt that I will want to do larger events again after this experience. This was better in every way. I think a couple more signs would've been helpful, as I did get a bit lost towards the end!

We're definitely going to review the signage for next year to make sure that it's really clear (although we also know that some of our signs were tampered with mid-race which isn't helpful!).

Fabulous as usual!

As ever, Hare and Tortoise did not disappoint. Well organised advance information covering all points. Good race briefing. Friendly enthusiastic team. Thank you!

Very hard to do, but also a lovely run to do. Thank you

More arrows, as I got lost a couple of times.

Windswept beauty

Great trail race. Spectacular views of the estuary. Overall, not too hilly.

Very good for beginners and really encouraging to all levels of runners. I found it really tough but all the organisers were so lovely and supportive

This was a great half marathon event. Stunning scenery, especially when the sun comes out. A mostly flat course, with some very muddy spots, it's a great half. Very well organised by a friendly team. Thanks Pete & Bev!

Amazing event even the sunshine came out

This was my first half marathon with the hare and tortoise & saltmarsh family & it certainly won’t be my last either everything about the day was perfect even down to the sun coming out on the trail, the Dinah line was something else everyone clapping as you was running up the home straight towards the finish line, tempted to enter the saltmarsh 75 now.

A fantastic event, great scenery and fab organisation

This is a beautiful very flat route, if you like coastal trails this is for you! The mud was an added entertainment! The organisation is brilliant, thoughtfulness radiated repeatedly! I can’t recommend this highly enough, thanks for a great experience.

Beautiful, friendly run.

Huge thanks to all that made this possible, organisers were clear, marshals were very friendly and supportive. Yes it was muddy in places, but you can’t control the weather!
