There are a few things I look for when considering a race – good organisation, great scenery and a testing course. FEARmanagh ticks all these boxes and its why I keep returning every year as it has become one of my favourite races in the calendar. The whole day runs smoothly and safely as the organisation is exceptional. The friendly locals who help out are extremely supportive and help make it a fantastic day for everyone! The only downside is when you’re at the top of the 1000 steps you haven’t time to admire the amazing scenery!
