I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how much my husband and I enjoyed last weekend's Steamy Surprise. I can quite honestly say it was probably the most enjoyable running event either of us have ever taken part in ! The scenery was stunning, the weather was great, the hills were challenging, and the downhills made me consider becoming a fell runner (albeit very briefly...) Kelley Sprawson
