About 1.5miles before the end I missed the arrow and ended up running into a flooded road - about 100 metres off the course. Others did the same thing so maybe a metal barrier of or more signs at this point might stop this as otherwise it was no problem following the route. Thank you for a great event.

First time at this event, everyone super friendly, an absolutely cracking course, give it a go you won't be disappointed

Ended up with a marathon PB but also ran 27.5 miles which is a bit longer than advertised. Didn’t mind really as I can now technically claim this as my first Ultra

This was my first time doing Dark Skies and I really enjoyed it. Great atmosphere and well organised.
The only thing I would say is that I got completely lost walking back up to the car park so maybe some more signage to direct you back up the footpaths towards the Greenside car park would be good.

Really enjoyed the run tonight, always enjoy running at Kielder, however for £48 it would’ve been nice to receive more than a medal at the end, although runners can buy extra snacks/drinks etc, but this should probably be included in your entry fee.

Also, the run is advertised as 26.6 miles but its actually 27.8 which was a lovely little surprise at the end!

All in all I’d run the course again, but in my humble opinion you get more bang for your buck with other race organisers.

Shoutout to the party aid station! Everyone was friendly and helpful- really well organised- was great.

This was my fourth time running and first from the new start. Much prefer it this way round and the tipi is a great place to finish.
Special mention for the vegetable soup, was just what I needed after finishing!
