Run & Ride

I love the Dirty Dozen, my favourite run of the year. Great course, great atmosphere, really well run with really good quality food option.

A very well organised event, and the route this year was just awesome again, I have now run this event 5 times and the thing I like most is, the route alters slightly each year 👍 already looking forward to 2026. But will be back in May to run the Half Marathon (already booked) 👌

An amazing event and would definitely recommend. Well organised, friendly marshalls, and a great course!

Done a few Dirty Dozen now. Always enjoy the course, although early bottlenecks can be a pain. Being bracketed as 50 - 99 is a bit rough on those of us who are up at retirement age as well 😀

Travelled from Brisbane, had so much fun, even in the ditch!!-) brilliant run. So so well organised.

Atmosphere was great at the start and finish line. Plenty of marshalls who were on hand to help people. Decent package price overall for the venue and everything that was included. As ever with these events, the toilet situation perhaps needed more attention due to the long queue. Overall a great event though, would run again and recommend.

Absolutely excellent shop, really nice and helpful staff if any queries. Fantastic offers are always on for quality items.I’ve only ordered on line but it’s the best for dispatch, quality and first class customer service.I can’t recommend highly enough

First class friendly and helpful service from Pedro and Matt when I ordered my new Garmin recently. Good people to deal with.

I have been competing in these events for the past few years and have loved every one of them. I can highly recommend the event to anyone thinking of giving it a go. Please keep up the great work Matt. 👍

Myself and my daughter competed in the race at Cannock Chase. It was a really fun and a good day out for the family. We all really enjoyed it, the wide range in categories makes it possible for anyone to give it a go so I'd highly recommend anyone to give it a try.

Fantastic race. Really well organised by a team with a great passion for what they’re doing. Interesting lap with plenty of singletrack. Thanks Matt. Loved it. I’ll be back!

After doing the Winter Classic back in February I was determined to do the summer classic. Once again it was well communicated beforehand and organised on the day great course marked out and marshalled (thanks guys) well happy to have finished and kept it rubber side down Bring on the next one 👍🏽

The Cannock Chase Summer Classic was superb! Great communications before the event and on the day, the course was great, well marked and marshalled and results came through quickly! Really well organised and I'm looking forward to future events! I can also recommend the shop at Milford - It's top notch!

This was my third race with this company and everyone has been well organised well run and you could not ask for more. Sadly I crashed out this year and had to with draw from the race but that’s not down to the organisation that’s down to me. Will try again on another day. Give it a go you can only win if you try.

When my e-bike started an issue I required a new control unit. Shimano as usual always take forever so tried Run and Ride. Part in stock dispatched received next day. And the bonus was it was £30 cheaper than everywhere else. Good Customer experience from me well done.

Don’t buy a bike from here. My brand new bike I bought from them had different length cranks and the service was diabolical. Simply avoid. There are much better bike shops around. This is a genuine review and I stand by my comments. They fitted different length cranks!!! They’re also liars.

Amazing race, well organised and friendly atmosphere but the amazing thing is what Matt does and gives all entry fees to charity. Thank you Matt, can't wait for next year!

Awesome event. Great course design. Varied terrain - fire roads for transitions up & downhill combined with wooded sections. Well marked out.

Cannock chase half marathon, advertised as the hardest half you’ll ever do, and boy they were right! Expertly ran, friendly and amazing communication from the organiser. I will run this next year!

As always a well organised event with something for everyone who likes to race a mountain bike. There was a great atmosphere in the event village, everyone one was catered for. The food was really good with plenty to choose from, I couldn’t resist a post ride pizza. Matt and his crew know how to put on a bike race.
