Loved the route
I didn’t see any water on the 5 mile route…
Although the 5 mile route was well signposted & the marshals were on each corner, I did hear that others on the half marathon route found that, at times they were unsure of the route as not well marked.. maybe a consideration for next year. Having said that, I loved the route & the lovely friendly atmosphere. Thank you
Parking & route to be improved
Parking is an issue, something to consider for next year.
The trail run could be a better route, twice around the park at the beginning is lame and the out and back route isn’t the best way to see the downs landscape, definitely could be improved next year.
Good atmosphere at the start, bag drop and extra loos very good.
Fantastic race on a challenging but stunning course.
Awesome scenario and a great challenge
Finishers medal was terrible and very disappointing
This is a brilliant event which takes through some wonderful countryside. It was my first Three Forts race but I've already entered for next year. It's definitely challenging but very enjoyable
Amazing event! First time running the 5mile trail run and will definitely be back next year!
Outstanding well organized event both leading up to and on the day.
Thoroughly enjoyable 3 Forts HM challenge. All communication leading up to the event was clear and helpful. The Marshalls were excellent and supportive. A great event all round.
Great scenery, great support, great snacks. A race not to be missed.
If the volunteers giving out numbers could be organised in alphabetical order of the letters they are giving out rather than randomly, this might make queuing clearer, a minor point though, thank you.
Excellent race and organisation, in a glorious part of the country
Really good. Challenging for those that want to run fast, but gentle enough for those that want to be a bit more relaxed.
very friendly , low key but enough people to be an event
Really great event . only thing is it could do with a few more direction signage. Saw people go wrong.
A well organised, friendly event on beautiful trails
The marshals and aid stations well organised
Wonderful views and atmosphere
My first race in over ten years. Was such good fun. Everyone was really friendly and the aid stations were well stocked. The views were amazing at the top. Really enjoyed it.
A nice day out.
Probably could have done with one more volunteer on the Marathon Registration to avoid the wait but other than that all good.
Excellent location - challenging but highly recommended

My favourite race. Friendly and well organised in a relaxed, fun atmosphere.
The town crier, man on the mic and the cheerful volunteers really make it a unique special event.
My first Marathon and a bit, it was tough but lots of encouragement along the way and everybody having fun!,
The sliced oranges at the Chanctonbury Ring stop were just the hit I needed. Hope to see you next year!
Loved the whole event! Booked for next year!
There was no water for the dogs after the run until I raised it.
wonderful friendly challenge event
Great Half Marathon with friendly organisers and great cakes.
I’ll be honest the cakes get my vote. Everything else is just running. Love this event have competed for years. Getting ready to take on the marathon one day!
