Dirty Nocka endurance mountain bike event. Great event, venue, course and atmosphere. Criticism - transition area was too far from the start/finish (timing mat), probably 1/4 of the total lap distance... See more

Excellent service.

I won't bore you with the long backstory, but my wife needed some Hoka brand rocker trainers. The gentleman who assisted us (I think his name was Matt) could not have been more helpful. He took all the time she needed to help her with the fitting, was helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.
A worthy 5 star service.

12/10 service! Highly recommend

Bought a bike online for delivery however was going to be on holiday at the dispatch date - I emailed the customer service team and Matt responded almost instantly, arranged a quicker despatch and was extremely communicative about options and arrival time and the bike arrived exactly when arranged!

Can't recommend enough

Dishonest

Dishonest - Ordered and paid for a new mountian bike. (not cheap) Got sent an email a day later saying they didn't actually have this bike in stock, but could offer a more expensive bike if i paid more money (!) I refused, & then got told they would try to find me another bike. (Matt) then never got back to me & my money was returned. I do not trust this bike shop and would recommend others to look elsewhere. Just plain dishonest & don't care.

Awesome Trail event

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) 👌

Done a few Dirty Dozen now

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 😀

2025 Dirty Dozen 12 km race

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.

Run and Ride MTB Classic

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. 👍

Run and Ride Summer Classic

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.

Cannock Chase Summer Classic

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!
