Hi Ray, Having returned to work today having just completed my second Ultra Marathon with you all in Ireland, I just wanted to say a great big huge thank you to you and your team for a great event .

The race itself was great and thank god for the weather, thanks to ray and the organisation team too. I really enjoyed it and will be back next year. The soup after the race was lovely. It was like a meal in itself.

This was my first ultra and I had an absolutely fantastic weekend. Myself and 18 friends from Nidd Valley Road Runners came from Harrogate to run the marathon and all agree how great it was, we're all still buzzing from it.
