Thank you so much to all the volunteers and marshalls who gave up their Saturday to give me and so many other runners a faultless, marvelous, wonderful and sensational day of complete dedication to the well being of everyone. Their spirit and wholehearted commitment lifted me beyond my pain, which i can assure you was immense, but when approached by a lovely smiling face and asked "What"s you number" and to hear it passed along until someone pokes their head out from among the sprawling drop-bags to say "well done, here's your bag - do you need anything else."
Thank you all - So much ;D
p.s i have rekindled a long lost love affair with Lentil soup after tasting Matt and Ena's gorgeous home-made. But i believe everything else will pale in comparison x

I agree ; even though I was crippled and looking done in, my spirits were constantly lifted by you heroes. Got a lovely massage and a bottle of beer so ended an epic day.

I agree that the race volunteers were fantastic and really made the day! It was so nice getting some encouragement and a big smile. Please also thank the police who were on the route as they were brilliant and had a word word of support for everyone. That was my first full fling and it won't be my last. X

This was my first Fling and ultra and I would like to thank all the volunteers who made it a fantastic day for me. Everyone along the way, including fellow runners, were there to help everyone get to the finish and have a great day. Many thanks to the very many involved in putting on such a well organised and uplifting event.

I couldn't agree more with what others have already said. Fantastic cheery marshals and helpers giving up their weekend helped make this race a great experience for me as my first ultra.
Big thanks to all who helped out! Trev
