In short: BUXTON HALF - You will have to travel many miles to find better scenbery for a race
In full: A beautiful day out for everyone - Buxton has it all. The race itself was excellent and then a great place to chill out in the park afterwards with family and friends. Had to laugh at the painted 'SLOW' sign in the raod at mile 7 (what a hill!) !!

In short: First attempt at his one, unusual in its 5.30pm start, tough hilly course, byt extremely scenic with little traffic to contend with. Sparse crowds but those that were out there were great at cheering runners on. Would definitely do again.
