Great race with beautiful scenery.
I would have liked twice as much wine...

Undulating wine based fun!!
Fran Richards
Fun but testing run
Tunde Adeyemo
It is a bit of a Bacchanalian festival
Bacchus Half
Don't come and do the Bacchus Half to get a PB.
Do come if you love a massive medal.
Weather permitting, you'll get beautiful views, it has tasking climbs, but you can walk the hills.
Come for the festivities, the taste of gourmet cheese and wine sampled at water stations along the route.
Come for the lively company of fancy dressed revellers intent on fun.
Come for the finishing party with a great meal and more wine.
Just come for an exhilarating experience that might find to be a relationship builder.

A well organised event
Alina King
Beautiful place and fun atmosphere
Please more water stations! On the 11am start for10K, we only had a water station at 2k and 9k. Other stations closed/ran out of water and it was a incredibly hot day.

Non stop party on the run. Challenging but hugely enjoyable
Great atmosphere, very well organised. Lovely to do a long run without pressure and lots of fun distractions.
George Hesson
incredible
Loved this event! very well organised and the atmosphere was amazing. Heres a few things that could be improved. I think it would be good if sunscreen was available at some of the stops. it would be good if the bands were also at the after party as the DJ was a bit repetitive. It would be good if the brewery was open as well and there were some more seating.

Brilliantly organised event
This event is so much fun. Everyone makes a real effort to dress up in fancy dress. Amazing atmosphere. The wine stations and tasty snacks were excellent. Incredibly well organised event. More toilets on the course would be great. Loved this event!

I wish to express a heartfelt thanks to all the organisers & crew for putting together such a great event. We loved it & hope you’ll accept us back next year.
Perhaps think of alternative to plastic water bottles
Thanks again all

A really fun half marathon with the added benefit of wine breaks.
Khushaali Amin
Great views and vibe but disappointing stops. No music at stop 1, the water and music was closed 2 hours into the event on such a hot day. The final stop was overcrowded. The 10km get 2 stops and the 20km get 6 stops, how does that make sense?
No idea who won the fancy dress
Pulled pork was nice
Thomas James
Really fun and great event.
Dawn Morris
Fun
Vegan and vegetarian food would be better just to do a vegan burger
Margie Locke

Running with Really good fun & Wine!
Emma Smith
Beautiful scenery and a great atmosphere!
On the 10k route, the second stop ran out of water - it was a hot day, and I have a medical condition where I dehydrate easily - this wasn't ideal. It would also be nice to have a third wine/water station on the 10k route. The vegan snacks ran out quickly too. But the atmosphere was brilliant as always and really enjoyed it.
Helen Clamp
Excellent as always - just brilliant. Vibes great, good start for beginners and lots of fun.
Is there anyway you could do something better for veggie food? I know you've moved away from veggie dry burgers to something equal to pulled pork - but my vegetarian friend - found the jack fruit v sweet more like pineapple? Something like mushrooms. I know how hard it is - but the food for those of us who like pulled pork is lovely - just would be great to see something similar for veggies?
