Great inaugural Cardiff Epic 10k in Fforest Fawr from Tough Runner. Fabulous route (exceedingly tough climbs.... particularly in today’s oven-bake heat) but oh, so pretty! Lovely enthusiastic marshals, great base for registration and a brilliantly organised event! Thanks all.... I loved it

It is my second tough runner event, I also did the garwnant one. I must say both times, the events have been very well organised! I have enjoyed both events and will definitely be doing these again next year! All the marshals and event organisers have done a fantastic job!
