In short: The special one for me
In full: It's nice to have an unpretencious local race (medal only reward / nothing fancy like chip timing) that is both challenging and scenic. Every year I spend the first 5k wondering why I still do this, but by the end this race gives a great deal of sataisfaction, and will always look to come back I think.

In short: Great race and amazed at the time I did in spite of THAT hill !!
In full: First time we have run this race, My wife and I will be back next year. The marshalls were all brilliant and encouraging,if a bit misleading at times!! Medal is a nice design.
Big thanks to all who contributed to make the whole atmosphere really good

In short: Nice scenery
In full: Nice undulating course with a couple of small and one large hill. Early start means less traffic coming back on main road.
