In short: Great race, not too hot and a good atmosphere too!
In full: A nice event, lovely to see everyone on their yellow shirts, and see the bananas set the pace. A great race for all abilities and ages, very inclusive, good on-site facilities, well marshalled, with plenty of encouragement!
Definitely worth doing!

In short: Banana Madness
In full: The race was very well organised and chasing the bananas made it fun. The t-shirts were good as were the goodie bags. Weather was very warm but the race was still nice. Well worth a go.

In short: Go banana go
In full: Thank you to the organisers for a great day. Special thanks to the bananas who must have got a bit soggy on such a warm day... Very glad that the Pagoda hill was taken out, guess that was due to the path being relaid and reseeded! Very enjoyable

In short: Great fun for a great cause
In full: Nice sunny day, maybe a little too warm for racing though ... felt very sorry for the bananas, I think they did brilliantly!

Was expecting the Pagoda hill to be included so a pleasant surprise when it wasn't, making for a completely flat course.

Happy that this race is practically on my doorstep! Very nice atmosphere. Will be back to chase more bananas next year!!
