Hi,
just thought I would let you know what a great run it was today. Loved the route and thought the organisation was fantastic. For a small event I thought the goodie bag was tops........lots of other events could learn from the event you put together today,
thanks for a great day and I'll definetley be back to run it again,

Wonderful course in very pretty countryside. Hills that were challenging but not ridiculous.
Wonderfully marshalled and signposted.
Excellent facilities.
Generally great all round.
Will definitely recommend to people next year.

What a fab, if undulating, race!
Well organised, beautiful trails and countryside together with marshals that called out my name - what more could you want?

A glorious run around, up and down the New Forest. Fantastically well marked and enthusiastically marshalled by people who knew my name!! The entry sheet given to the marshalls so they could cheer you on by name - great idea. Burger van - very tasty hot dogs. Goody bag - loved the Stinger sweet and keep trying for Stinger beer next year. Oh, one more thing, the photographer was lovely!!!

Excellent race. Wonderful atmosphere, well organised and marshalled. nice touch with calling out our names as we passed! Lovely day for it, in beautiful surroundings. Embarrassed to admit I didn't know why it was called "the Stinger". I do now, that was quite a hill!

Great course, superbly well-marked out and marshalled. Thank you to everyone involved. I'll definitely be back next year, hoping the weather gives us some mud next time!

Well done to everybody involved - Excellent event,very well organised. Hamstring went @ 3.5miles (old injury), until that point loving it! Will be back next year. A massive thank you to all the marshals that took care of me and sports therapist at the end, a credit to the event. Keith

Superb race. Instantly jumps into my top 5 trail races. A course with numerous twists and turns, with a marshall at every one of them, bright yellow and encouraging. All of the marshalls and their organiser should be thanked profusely. Particularly impressed by the lady (twice) and gent (once) who called our names from their list. Superb venue, with lots of parking right next to the start. Great finishing "Amphitheatre". One small hiccough - the post code took me and my sat nav to about 1/2 a mile north of the start and was about to turn round in panic when I saw the Totton flags in the distance; maybe a few notices on the roadside would help. Will be back next year; defintely. Many thanks (NOTED - will make sure some signs go out - though in the online instructions it did say NOT to follow the sat nav directions and gave a map and directions to the campsite, maybe these were not sent out to runners, so will get the pack updated for the next race.)

Have been to similar events but none were as well organized as the Stinger. All the event staff, marshals, & the photographer were excellent, well done Totton RC.
Great course but could do with a few more mile or KM markers, otherwise perfect. Would have liked a bit more mud, but will be back next year, can`t wait.

Excellent route, marshalling and goody bag. There was nothing that could be bettered. I have participated in many races and your organisation is the best and the marshalls the friendliest and most supportive. I really felt like they wanted me to do well not just the Totton runners as is the case in so many other races.
There wasn't even any queues for the toilets - unheard off!
I will definately be back next year. Many thanks to everyone involved.
