Very well stocked fuelling stations with very friendly marshals.

Would have preferred something substantial at the end, less sweets and biscuits.
A filled roll please.

Have run this event a few times now and I still love it despite the mud! A nice and flat ultra marathon which, although flat, offers a variety of terrains along the way to keep it challenging.
Very well organised but a nice, friendly team. The feed stations are well positioned and manned by lovely marshalls.

The one thing you can't control on raceday is the weather. It rained for the entire event, but let's be honest it just made it even more of an achievement. The marshals were incredible, and a wonderful entry level Ultra. Definitely got me itching for more and I'd recommend this race to everyone. Little bit of sunshine next time though, hey?

Great food stations,lots of food and drink to choose from even for the slower runners. Friendly encouraging marshalls too.
Would recommend this course for first time ultra runners but would suggest the route was changed to running 2 laps of the field first rather than have to do a lap of honour at the end, especially after that last hill.

The marshals were brilliant and check points plentiful.
We would have liked a ham or cheese roll at finish rather than more sweets and junk for though and maybe a bottle of water as some of the water at stations had a bad taste.

Great route, organisation and volunteers. Very muddy on the day, so come prepared!

I have run this even 5 times, and have loved each one. No navigation required, perfectly spaced aid stations, 99% flat (until the last mile!), a good mix of trails (everything from hard packed paths to sloppy mud (depending on weather!) and a lovely mix of runners. Some will finish this in lightning speed and the front can be very competitive, others will be running their first ultra and just enjoying the day, and there will also be those pushing the generous cut offs. Its a full mix.
Sensible start time, made even better by the clock change usually falling the night before!
Can't recommend this race highly enough, and I'm sure I'll be back for #6!

Ran this yesterday as my first ultra, was well signposted, regular aid stations with very cheery and enthusiastic volunteers and a range of food and drinks which I liked a lot. Very glad I did it. The route was almost entirely off road, occasionally muddy. Have already recommended to my friends who run who are considering it.

Always good communication and organisation from Challenge Running. This was my first time running Stort 30 and I was running it on my own - there were times when I felt like the only person out there so I was very grateful for the regular, well stocked and very friendly checkpoints.
