In short: Much improved
In full: I did this race last year and there were a few hicups with the organisation.

This year all the problems have been ironed out and it all went very smoothly, so the race organisers should be congratulated.
I have noted that someone said there were too many water stops!!! It appears that some people will never be happy.

The prizes were much better too.

In short: Could become a good race
In full: Excellent venue and friendly organisation and with time plus the organisers visiting a few of the successfull local races (Wilmslow 1/2, 4 Villages, Birchwood 10k etc) for tips has potential to become a really good one.

In short: Excellent run
In full: The three laps are nicely broken up with a mixture of race tarmac, infield gravel and grass and the tarmac rally track. Made setting the next target really easy. Highly recommended.

In short: Great run - shame about the weather.
In full: Really well organised and friendly, shame there weren't more people taking part. Full credit to Tri-Active for their skills in putting this together. Traffic-free route, smooth as ice with a few undulations on the race track, with mixed terrain to break things up on the in-field.
