In short: Terrific holiday race - more challenging than it appears!
In full: This was a very well organised, first-time, 10k trail race, with the added twist of 'no watches' and prizes for those whose predictions were closest to actual results. While most of the route was on flat walk/bridle paths or canal towpaths, the short 'hill' section added some challenge as did the narrow and tricky towpath surface. Friendly marshals and volunteers and good humour amongst the 200 participants made for a great atmosphere. I echo the earlier comment that not only should this be an annual event, but a midsummer evening event would also be welcome.

In short: Very enjoyable race to end 2012! Trail race, so unlikely to be a pb course, but relatively fast course for a trail course as no major uphill bits. Many thanks to the race organisers and the friendly marshalls for putting on an excellent race.
In full: Excellent last race to end 2012.

In short: Great way to shake off the Christmas excesses.
In full: Great location with fine facilities and welocme at the Miners Arms pub. Clockwork organisation and a route that although flat, is still a challenge being all trail or towpaths. Bacon butty at the end and an unusual twist to proceedings with the chance for everyone to win with it being based on predicted time. Deserves to be an anuual event if not twice yearly. An evening, summer version would be fantastic.
