Well organosed shame abput the weather

Very well organised, it's only my 2nd ever race. Easy to book, gteat medal, friendly people. I just wish it had been better weather as I only have gym trainers. However not the organisers fault.

Excellent event

Really well organised event
Loved the options at the aid station
The little 'after race' bag was full of great choices of snacks and very much appreciated
The support from the organisers was fantastic - I was close to the 6 hour cut off point and was worried they'd be packing away but they were still there, full of enthusiasm, cheering everyone on
All the runners were really supportive and overall it was a lovely race, despite the horrific conditions

Good event

Friendly relaxed event. The instructions and signage could be improved. Also an area for changing would be great.

Thank you for your positive review - we do appreciate your feedback and agree with you that our change to the coloured flags from our previous signage didn't work as well as we had hoped. We also usually have a warm area for changing after the event, but we were told just days before the event that the roof had collapsed in the Scout Hut we usually use and we had no other options available to replace it. We do hope that the hall will be fixed and up and running soon, not just for us, but the community too!

Nothing could dampen our spirits... The course was a different matter all together!

This was a great event out on by an ever friendly and cheerful group of organisers. It was my first time with H&T and they made everyone welcome from registration and pre-event briefing through to congratulations at the end of each lap. A well stocked aid station, area for your own bags and fuel stop - the puddles along the route were just a fun addition! Will certainly return if the race calendar allows!

Very nice event at a time of the year when there are few races

Only slight criticism is, it would be nice to get a medal of the event, not a generic one

Thank you for your kind words. This event is all about running for medals from previous events, as we had lots of people ask where they could get medals for the events that they missed over the years. We do put this in the event details but perhaps we need to make this a bit clearer so you know what to expect before you book! Glad that you enjoyed the event despite not getting a race specific medal though! :-)

H&T went over and above!!

Not only are H&T a well run friendly running community with some really friendly runners but Pete and Beverley both went over and above when I was leaving and I couldn’t open my car with my remote key because it got wet. Pete managed to charge it to get it open and I started the engine with relief. They did it without a second thought and I am so grateful.

Great atmosphere.

The weather was not on our side today. First time I’ve done a Rayne run, would love to do it again in better weather. Was pleased with everything but slightly disappointed that was wasn’t a medal for this run but medals from other events held here.

Another great H&T event

These events are truly for everyone, no matter what your running level may be. A massive thank you to the H&T team who are always so welcoming and supportive, whether this was your first race with them or a seasoned ticket holder!

I also have to congratulate them on the treats at the aid stations and the amazing medals at each of their events - it was a lovely to be able to choose one of your past amazing medals at this event.

Inclusive atmosphere

The disadvantage of having short out and back loops, in not all that amazing scenery is made up for by the fact you are never alone and you keep running towards happy faces, sharing words of encouragement with each other. Everyone is on a different journey, so no one feels under pressure or awkward that they are walking, or not "keeping up".

Well organised in a unique location. Different and enjoyable experience although it was tough going.
