What runners say · Strike I
Rated 4.7 / 5
“Absolutely amazing event. From start of communication to in between communication, amazing race pack!”
“Very well organised despite having to be re-routed due to the fires. Very well stocked aid stations, beautiful trails in the vineyards, beautiful medal and it was clear to see that a lot of effort and hard work went into the event.”
“It wasn't easy but I LOVED it and am super proud of myself for finishing. The people I met along the way, thank you, you guys were amazing and kind and kept me going.”
“The organisers did a great job with the aid stations and support along the route was amazing.”
“This experience was really authentic. Every minor detail was on point.”
“Loved the event. Such a great vibe and atmosphere. Well done for making it happen with so many challenges during the week.”
