The stress & the anxiety of watching weather apps for the last 3 days, now feels like a distant memory & although there were a few slight changes we needed to make on the day, things seemed to pass relatively smoothly. As I said post race, it takes an army of people to put on such an event & the feedback we’ve had regarding our amazing course marshalls who were stood there in some really challenging conditions, has been second to none. A massive thank you to the core team, most of who were out on course at 6:30am for setup & still packing things away at 3pm this afternoon. You guys are amazing. Also everyone else who has made this event what it is today, from registration, food, lead bike, water stations, social media, kids race, merchandise, goody bags, Kingy the Lion, our MC, warm up etc etc. A huge thank you to all our sponsors, partners & suppliers - the feedback we’ve had regarding this years medals, trophies T-Shirts has been ace. But finally a massive thank you to all our entrants. You came to see us, when on a day like today it would’ve been easier to stay in bed & in doing so have raised a massive amount of money for local good causes. We hope you enjoyed yourselves & will come back and see us again next year. I’m sure there will be lots of photos shared on Facebook in the coming days. Have a wonderful festive period & all the very best for 2025. Mark - Event Director
