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!! 

​Eleanor Wood: Thank you for a lovely run again today. All marshals amazing and course well marked fun and tough. Perfect.
​
Sheila Bolt: Thank you for putting on such a fantastic event really enjoyed the run, my second time I’ll be back next year !! 


Kev South Devon AC: Really well organised. Please give particular thanks to the lovely ladies who provided the excellent cake and tea! Was worth getting wet for!​

Jenny Debenham: Just wanted to say a massive thank you for such a fantastic run today. Huge thanks to all the marshals and everyone involved. Loved it!
