Tresco Marathon - Race Reviews

A fantastic marathon run by the local people of Tresco. The course is quite tough and consists of 7.5 laps of the island with 3 hills per lap. The scenery is fantastic, with excellent views of the surrounding islands as you run around the course. There are plenty of water/feeding stations around the course. The support during the race from locals and supporting families and friends is second to none. The medal presentation in the village hall is a very personal touch that makes Tresco special. A spectacular post-race buffet put on by the local chefs is not to be missed. A truly memorable marathon that should be done by every runner at least once.

Excellent support with pre and post massage, and champagne buffet medal ceremony to finish. Small restricted field of 125, and runners have to raise a set sponsorship amount for cystic fibrosis. Cannot fault the organization; definitely one to do....

Excellent day. The organization was brilliant, the course was tough but a challenge, and the other runners were very generous with their comments and encouragement. Thoroughly enjoyed the day; one of the best I have had. Thank you.
