Comments from 2019 runners
Monique Boon: Thank you to you and all of the wonderful marshals, helpers at the school, the wonderful ladies serving tea and cakes and the brownies at the water station & medical staff on a great event. This was my first Hippo run but my friends, Vikkie, Dasa & I will be back again next year as we had the best time today. Such a fun event and we enjoyed every minute.

Julia Stuckey: Excellent event today - many thanks to all of the marshals that stood in the cold and were so encouraging- we will be back next year. 

Steve Carr: Really great Hippo and Calf today, big thank you to the marshalls and organisers from Steve Hannah & Lauren 

​Vikki Casson: We had the best time at the hippo, so much fun. A challenging run but we had fun the whole time, enjoyed every minute of it with two of my friends from run club. This run is unrated, I thought it was great. Marshall’s were all fantastic as well, very encouraging. We will definitely be back next year where I may actually try and race it but then again.....it’s too much fun!!
