Great morning trail race
Great morning trail race i loved everything about the race and the organisation i couldnt fault the run or organisation but a couple of points to make which im sure will be addressed anyway. Toilets never showed up before race unfortunately this was out of the organisers hand as they had ordered them but they never showed up. But we were in nature anyway lol. Other point just have all marshalls at there posting before the race starts and also know the route for turning points. But again I understand this is a voluntary thing so ya have to have a little leeway. Not a criticism just an observation. Overall im still very happy and satisfied with my first ever Trail Outlaws and I will be back ☺️

Challenging
Disappointing I haven't heard results yet, so don't know how long it took me to complete.
David Green
Our third time doing this event, probably a little easier on the legs with the new start, shame about some people having gone too far at the turning point, great event and definitely recommend it if you haven't done it before
Paula Warwick
fabulous routes, friendly faces from start to finish and brilliant value for money.
I run with my 8 year old daughter, I enter these events to help her with her running confidence, strength, distance but mainly so we can spend some time together doing something we both enjoy. It’s not a race for us, it’s time out together.

Great Event
Really enjoyed the event, the route was enjoyable the sort of trail I like but a tough final 2 miles to finish.
Abigail Mendy
Tough but doable - the scenry is beautiful
Lorenzo Mugnai
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Well organised and a varied route.
Kim Ramshaw
lovely varied route
John Heaton
Excellent
Don't underestimate especially in hot weather. Very enjoyable and excellent scenery.
Enjoyable race, a few things could be improved
Good points:
- Marshalls were all great
- Plenty of parking and toilets at the start
- Scenic route
- Overall a good race
Some notes for improvement:
- I've done this race twice now and both years there were problems with people going off route. Time penalties had to be estimated to prevent people from winning awards when they've accidentally cut the route short. Most of the route is well enough signed, but it only takes one wrong turn. I think it needs emphasising pre-run that signs can't be relied on for navigation, particularly for the benefit of less experienced trail runners.
- Something to eat at the end would have been appreciated
- I spent 45 minutes sat on the shuttle bus waiting for it to fill up and set off. Had I known, I would have gone to the cafe to wait. Advertised set-off times would be preferred.

Loved it
Was hoping this event would bring back my running mojo, it did not disappoint, loved the route, marshalls were awesome, as usual, found it very tough but I finished and will deffo do it again
Sharon Dobson Waters
It was gorgeous route very beautiful but challenging. Need to be confident can run 10 mile on challenging terrain before entering.
The end came quicker that I expected - about half mile short?
Andrew Lowes
Undulating and scenic
David Hodgson
Beautiful route, well organised trail race
Another cracking Durham Coastal half. The only thing I would suggest is to add an additional water station when it’s hot like today.
Jennifer Wealleans
As always, a well organised event with friendly and helpful volunteers. Looking forward to my next Trail Outlaws adventure.
This is my second year of taking part in this event. Fingers crossed I'm back next year.

Challanging!
Hard route Hilly and lots of steps. beautiful views on the coastal stretch. very friendly and supportive, very well organised and All marshals lovely, good signage across the route. definitely a good route to challenge yourself.
Lydia Boase
Beautiful route. Very friendly and relaxed. Really enjoyed it. Maybe prompt people to carry water or set up extra water station as hot and windy today
Mark Atkinson
Great Route around lesser known durham trails
It does have hills, that the fun. The GPX was a little out, once small loop was reversed, but signage was clear
