Here is what some of our competitors have said about Go Beyond events.
Country to Capital - 17th January, 2009
Thank you for organising a great race. It was only my second ultra and I thoroughly enjoyed the day.
I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the race this past weekend. Visiting England for the first time, I thought the scenery of the run was absolutely incredible. Your staff was especially amazing and provided great support during the race. I had a wonderful experience (made a great friend during the run) and will definitely be travelling across the pond again to participate in GoBeyond's events.
Thank you for organising the race. It was my first ultra and I really enjoyed the experience, thanks in no small part to the great organisation and support from all the check point crews.
I hope to do another similar event in the future.

Thanks again for putting on a great event.
Checkpoints were brilliant. Jelly babies and cake were much appreciated, pork pies and sausage rolls were a first for me but anything savoury is always very welcome in the second half of a race.
Thames Trot - 7th February, 2009
Steve, great race, very well organised (loved the fruit cake) - despite the conditions

Congratulations Steve on another very well run event. At no point did I feel my safety was endangered despite the conditions.
Just a terribly short note to thank you and the rest of the team for a fabulous day yesterday - we were, as you say, incredibly lucky with the weather (the prospect of doing the same route in the sleet we had on Thursday just makes me shudder!), and the whole organisation was slick and seamless without being aggressively hold-your-hand-and-baby-you. We all felt safe but not cherished, which is exactly as it should be
well done on the race organisation, although the weather was against us it made for a more challenging event, next year I will be back to have another go, once again well done to you, the Marshall's and everyone else associated with the race, the support was very much appreciated
Just wanted to drop you a note to say a big thank you to you and the Go Beyond team for laying on such a great event on Saturday.
It was our first venture into Ultra racing proper, and was a really rewarding experience. We're building up for the 4 Deserts Race in the Sahara in October and Saturdays was a huge confidence boost. Both Luke and I are eyeing 2010, and the Trans Britain but one thing at a time, we'll get the desert out the way first!!
On that note I'd be more than happy to recommend Go Beyond Events to anyone, so if you need a testimonial for the website then please let me know.

Thanks for a well organised race and great day out Looking forward to doing more GB events.
Thanks for putting everything together yesterday -- super event. I look forward to doing it again next year...
Just to say thanks for a great race-really pleased it went ahead. It was tough but well worth it!
Every one was so supportive and the fruitcake was a life saver. The tea at the finish tasted so good
Looking forward to next year
That was quick getting the results up! Thanks again for organising such a great event. I look forward to coming back in nicer conditions when I can appreciate the scenery...
A big thank you to everyone involved for yesterday's race - and especially to all those people who stood outside in the cold at the checkpoints and making sure we didn't go astray.
As you'll know, I did it, despite my doubts and despite the snow and ice, and I'm now enjoying Sunday with the happy buzz of achievement!
"The Thames Trot was my first Ultra event with GoBeyond. It was a brilliant experience, I met a load of like-minded folk, the organisation was excellent with regular, well-stocked checkpoints. The course was a great choice, beautiful scenery and it was worth running just for the fruitcake! There was plenty of encouragement and support from everyone involved. If you are reading this and toying with the idea of entering a GoBeyond Ultra event, then stop pondering and just do it. You'll love it."
