Superb race. Well marked, well organised. Exceptionally friendly and encouraging Marshalls and helpers at the start and finish. A good course, not too many bottle necks. Great colour of finishers t shirt. Loved the atmosphere. Good coffee shop for hot drinks afterwards.

As a first time half marathon runner I was pacing myself, however found the 10k runners behind were going at a faster pace, this made it a little tricky moving in and out so they could pass (not wanting to slow them down) perhaps these runners could have started first?

I've done the Culzean 5k last year and 10k this year, both events were some of the most fun races that I've done. Very different from a standard road race.
I would highly recommend investing in a pair of good trail shoes; they really do make all the difference running in the mud and on trails.
The event is really well organised and lots of marshals and supporters, plenty of parking and the views are unbelievable in any weather.
Maybe not the race is you want a PB given the hills and mud, but definitely wins "Best Scenery" in my book!

What a fun thing to have done.

Well organised and run, marshals and organisers were so supportive and encouraging. great route with really nice views. Nice and muddy :-)

Prior to the event, Wild Deer were great at transferring my entry when daughter couldn’t make the 5k.
Second time here- Culzean is really not too far from Glasgow (1hr).
Bit more wetness this year so trail sections of the course muddy fun, but still really runable.
Wild Deer have picked a great route through Culzean Estate away from the main paths, and the variety breaks up the route really well.
Volunteers and team really friendly and encouraging, and nice relaxed feel to the event.
I ran 1/2 option, but 5k and 10k options available as well.
Culzean cafe nice pre- and post- race options.

As an NTS member I do object to paying £6 for parking. However it is an excellent venue and race, albeit a tough one.

Not the easiest run but worth doing if you fancy trying off road for the first time

As first female it would have been nice to have a marshal or organiser at the end to announce the first male and female and congratulate them as it is a big achievement. I understand that these events are not about winning but as an ordinary working mum that runs, it is a massive achievement. It would of been nice for it to have been recognised by someone at the end.

Excellent event regardless of weather …. Roll on 2027

Third time I've attended this event and it's always a friendly atmosphere and really well organised. Culzean is a great venue and really enjoyed despite lots of rain and mud.

Another brilliant run at Culzean Castle with Wild Deer Events. The weather may not always shine but these events do! Thank you for all your efforts.

This is the first time I have done this event and it is now my favourite half marathon!

Done the half marathon a very technical run with unbelievable scenery a good challenge
