“ Inverness you never fail to put on a well organised, wonderful event. Yet again all the helpers and marshals were amazing. Thank you. ”

Very hilly as expected for a trail race. Challenging run but enjoyable. Great views, and good course. well signposted and marshalled. Highly recommended for the price
RUNNER
A great event really enjoyed: well marshalled & stocked aid stations, mile markers, friendly atmosphere, lovely scenery, quick to register, great communication pre & post-race. Like to arrive early & had no issues. Will definitely do again
RUNNER
1st ever trail run did 10k Afan Valley – well marked out course – was delayed in starting by 30mins. Totally enjoyed scenery was awesome would have preferred more of the course on softer ground as mainly fire roads would recommend to any beginner as a 1st event
