REVIEWS FROM FACEBOOK:

I think if your looking for something a little different than the norm, and a little more challenging then tough runner UK are the boys/girls to try. I done my first duathlon this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed and the organisation and support was great too. I will definitely try another of their events soon. Give them a go.

Have now done the hoka half and wildflower events and both really well organised with great Marshals and support. Will do more events in future without question.

It was a fantastic course, challenging in places but suitable for first timers. A really well organised event and we will definately be back next year. Thank you

The Wildflower Duathlon was great event. Well organised, fab marshalls. My first Duathlon and really enjoyed it. I hope to be back next year. Cheers! 😁👍
