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.

Would definitely recommend, Just ran Winter Wales 10 miles, well organised and course lived up to the tough runner title! Will be doing another soon, nice medal too 👍

They do great events - simples :D. They know what a good trail race looks like - tough climbs, fun descents, stunning views, amazing team of people heading, helping and supporting them to achieve it.
