The first rainy day in four months and it had to be race day! My first half marathon and it was fantastic; the community was so supportive and waving and cheering... smiles everywhere!! It was well organized and the race route was beautiful.... I'll be back in 2007.

I really enjoyed this rural marathon. The weather was fantastic to match the nice and friendly people. It is a very small marathon, i.e. small in total number of runners, esp. the full distance, but big in spirit and big in the hearts of the organizers. The organizers did a great job. Good aid stations, well marked course. The hilly terrain is what makes it a wonderful and inspiring marathon. It's not all in the time, but more in the fun of it and finishing it. I really enjoyed the rural run, where you could look at the hills, the fields were inspiring as well. The sunflowers and the hay bails on the fields make it pretty as well. I certainly would like to be back again. I have run 34 marathons and 8 ultras, mostly in Europe, and this one reminds me of some of the rural ones I have run in France and Switzerland and Germany. The aid stations had power gels which was great. Very friendly people. I will invite my other running friends next year. Thanks Treherne runners and organizers and the Chamber of Commerce for doing a great job. My favorite quote is, 'Why would anyone live on this earth and not run on it?' That goes for TREHERNE.

"Super, Challenging & Scenic" (about: 2005)

Great 1st event Treherne!! Aid stations and toilets were well placed. Route was extremely well marked and policed. Traffic was virtually nil but was well controlled. Full course was perfect with hills followed by flat before the hills again (+ gentle descent into the town). Finish area had great atmosphere/camaraderie. Fruit, juice muffins and pork bun was great.

SMALL-TOWN FRIENDLINESS ++++++.... keep it up. Definitely back next year.

Congratulations Treherne! You put on an awesome marathon. We were very impressed and the hospitallity was super! The course is on gravel roads (easy on the body) and is scenic and challenging. The aid stations were very well placed and people working at them were alot of fun! The town really gets behind the event and the small town atmosphere really shows through which we really liked alot. I know one thing we will be back!!!
