Thanks for this. It was a great event. On the 21 mile event, myself and Gaynor Anderson-Yates should be the other way round – Gaynor should be 3rd and I was 4th. She was about 30 seconds faster than me!<\/span><\/p>

Thanks<\/span><\/p>

Just to say thanks very much for all of the hard work that goes unseen by us to put on such a good event as yesterday\u2019s was, and especially as it\u2019s all for such a good cause. Very grateful & I hope all the other participants found it as positive an experience as I did.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This is a short message to thank you and all the other volunteers who helped make our walk yesterday so enjoyable. Four of us came across from the Wigan area to do the 21 mile route for the first time. None of us have previously done much walking in the area so really enjoyed visiting new places on the lovely and varied route. I know how much work goes into organising such an event but all the effort is very much appreciated.<\/span><\/p>

Thanks again to you and your team,<\/span><\/p>

Hi Brian, once again thanks to all that helped, marshalled, stood at checkpoints, made food and served tea, is well worth the drive up to run a great route with lovely people and for a good cause too. Not going to lie, it’s a tough course ,and I did swear quietly in places, but the views and waterfalls are so worth the pain ! Hope to see you soon,<\/span><\/p>

Regards and Thank you, <\/span><\/p>

I would just like to say a great big thank you for running this race, I know you are a volunteer, and it’s people like that support great charities and do great work.<\/span><\/p>

This is the first challenge event that I have ever done in my life, could I please ask you how many of the 17 mile people were walkers and how many were runners<\/span><\/p>

Once again a great big thank you.<\/span><\/p>

Thank you for sending this out and for arranging such a fantastic challenge event. The last loop between Denholme and Harden was absolutely delightful, especially after the steeper ups and downs on the moors.<\/span><\/p>

Congratulations on raising \u00a31,500 for the Mpika charity and, last but not least, a big thank you to all the fantastic volunteers for their warm welcomes at the Start, Finish and all checkpoints in between.<\/span><\/p>

All the very best<\/span><\/p>

Denholme Doddle Challenge yesterday – what a fantastic day out running 23 miles in beautiful Bronte country. Highly recommend this event for next year (if <\/span>Brian <\/span>organises it again?)

Very friendly, great regular checkpoints, good route information & lots of food. What more could you ask for?<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Thank you so much for a lovely event yesterday. The food, support and marshals were absolutely great. Each check point had well thought out kinds of delicious food and plentiful water not to mention the lovely smiling marshals too. The post race hot meal was an added bonus I wasn’t expecting but very welcome, and also the pre race free tea, coffee and biscuits.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
