REVIEWS FROM FACEBOOK:

I’ve just completed my first Tough Runner UK event, the Swansea Epic Trail 10k. It was a tough but awesome event with a great atmosphere. The team clearly put a huge amount of effort into organising these events. Brilliant Marshall’s and a great medal and finishers t- shirt too.

Just ran my first Tough Runner UK event- Swansea Epic Trail 10k. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Course was great, challenging in places but fun too. Very well marshalled and a great atmosphere. Lovely medal too! Will definitely do it again.

Ran the Swansea Epic 10K at Penllegaer Valley Woods earlier today. Superb course, excellent organisation by the team, very good support around the course and great communications from the team in the weeks leading up to the event. Cracking stuff.
