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.

Completed the Cardiff epic 10k trail on Sunday and loved it! The trail was clearly marked out, organisation was fab and the pre race instructions were clear and informative. The marshalls were really excellent and made sure the event went smoothly. Toughest race ive ever done but also the most fun! I’ve already signed up for the penllegaer one!

Tough Runner events are truly amazing experiences, I ran in the Garwnant Epic 10k and enjoyed it so much I also entered the Cardiff Epic 10k. They were both incredible events, seamlessly organised and a great atmosphere. Friendly and supportive volunteers, always water stations and electronic chip timing. I am super excited for the Barry 10k next month and I am gutted I can’t make any other events!! If you’re wondering about entering a Tough Runner race, don’t have any concerns, they are fantastic.
