In short: Challenging but scenery makes it worth it
In full: A challenging race with 5k downhill followed by 5k uphill and an especially tough final 3k, but the race is very well organised and the beautiful scenic countryside makes it worthwhile.
Huge thanks to the marshals for giving up their time up to help out and to all the local residents shouting encouragement - I'll be back next year!

In short: Whiles not the fastest race you're going to run in your life, add say 2 minutes onto your pb it fits in very nicely with a xc season, good testing hills at both 5k and 7k the latter heading right up tot he finish.

In short: A nice run that puts your training to the test
In full: A rural road run with plenty of space after the somewhat compressed start and no bottlenecks. A good mix of downhill - uphill. You will need to have done some hill work prior to this run as this 1 lap course will test your training.

In short: Beautiful scenery and friendly organisation
In full: Despite ice on the roads and a couple of killer hills this was a really enjoyable run, through lovely countryside. Good organisation although could do with a few more toilets available at the start as this delayed the race.
