In short: A Glorious way to spend a Sunday
In full: Can't fault it in any way. It would have been nice not to race it and enjoy the scenery a bit more but where's the fun in that! Wild horses everywhere and a deer ran out just in front of me at one point.
I unfortunately couldn't thank the Marshalls on the way round as I was just trying to breathe but they were fab.
Beginners - The only reason I didn't give this full marks is because it's 10 miles but if you want a race to aim for then make sure you enter this next year.

In full: Everything about this race is pretty much perfect and I'll keep coming back every year. Thanks very much to all those who makes this a great success from the car park helpers to the on-course marshals. This year I got a PB for 10 miles as well - bonus!

In short: Excellent race
In full: My second time at this race and I enjoyed it just as much this time.
Scenery is just lovely, cheery marshals, good water stops, and this year it wasn't boiling hot, so I managed to improve my time from last year by 6 minutes.
Definitely worth doing this one - well done to all involved.

In short: My favourite race
In full: Well done marshals on all counts. Brilliant race this. Drinks stations well positioned. Although strength sapping and finish line a welcome sight I always get a buzz at the end, and this year a PB for NF10. It must be an optical elusion, but I find that the gentle downhill sections seem longer and occur more frequently than the modest uphill challenges.

In short: Great Race, friendly atmosphere and p.b-able.
In full: If this race had about five more toliets and maybe one drinks station with bottles rather than the plastic cups it would be about perfect.
Very well marshalled, great scenery and an all round friendly atmosphere. It's flat enough to p.b on although there are a few 'testers' on route.

In short: What an amazing race - loved it - great marshalls - great scenary
In full: y first NF10. I am so glad I was roped into doing this race. I loved watching the running horses, the highland cow who watched us go by closely, the vocal support of the marshalls & general public too. Even the undulating terrain was ok, even if the legs did tire a little between 8-9. The weather was pretty much perfect too.
Have already raved to fellow running mates to book early to do this one next year.
Hope to be back all going well next year :-)

In short: A lovely Sunday morning run
In full: A brilliant race good to run along with the horses even though I had to stop while the horse rush was on the main track.
I cant understand how people can Not understand "No music" quite clear, and if you cant run in scenery so beautiful like that without it, then perhaps you should not be running!!!
Thanks to everyone with the organisation of the day . Another brass to add to my collection
