2016 Exmoor Adventure Race Comments
"I just wanted to say thank you for last weekend's race - it was another great event. You always manage to get the right mix of challenging courses that can be tackled by all abilities, and Q2 Exmoor was no different."
"Thank you for all the time and effort you all put into these races. They're the best ones around - always great locations, genuinely friendly atmosphere and a race that tests your mental and physical fitness. Your team's effort was immense, from the course setting and marshalling, to the catering and general welcome and I thought you should know that you're appreciated. I'm looking forward to more Questers in 2017!"

"Thanks again for putting on a great Adventure Race for the Gunners. I spoke with most personnel after the event and all enjoyed it and felt a great sense of achievement and relief in competing in such an event. As always the administration, briefing and actual running, biking and kayaking was first class."

"Taking part in Questars in Dorset over the weekend was a great way to explore a beautiful part of the U.K. The mountain biking was hilly and challenging but the views at the top when you made it to a checkpoint was worth it every time. Having circumnavigated Corfe Castle we didn't have very much time left for our run, but still managed about 8km over fortunately flat heathland. The event was well organised, with a hog roast on return! An enjoyable challenge, I'll definitely be back for another one!"
Lindsey
