Weekend of 2 half's! As we did on the day and now publicly we would like to offer a full apology to all runners who took part on Saturday 16th March at Vaynol Estate. Due to course markers being moved on the National Trust side of the event without our knowledge caused total confusion to the first wave of runners which resulted in the run losing almost 3 miles of the route and missing out 4 obstacles. A number of stewards then had to leave their stations to try and rescue the event causing more difficulties as 200+ runners were making their way through the course. The VX team have spent more than 6 months planning the event and after checking the route in the morning we were not able to predict this was going to happen. As we take what we do very seriously and have a history of producing successful events over 15 years we hope today's race shows how we reacted to the problems of the first day.

Moving 6 stewards to the National Trust side and adding a further 12 to the site made todays event a massive success!! with all runners completing every obstacle and challenges the Vaynol had to offer gaining praise from experienced extreme runners to beginners alike. We had hoped for the same on Saturday also unfortunately we take full responsibility for this not happening.

True to our word anyone who took part on Sat Mar 16th is welcome to run again at Delamere for free or Vaynol again later in the year.

Checkout the pictures and video which will be uploaded over the next few days and see the successful teams and runners who completed the course. Regards Team VX
