In short: Very scenic, very undulating, hindered by optomistic runners/joggers in the wrong pens and slightly unnerved by having to pass a runner with a dog!

In short: slow start due to optimistic runners clogging up the front. Otherwise great
In full: If you enjoyed this one then try the Grimsthorpe Castle 10k on Aug 31st. Similar off road experience, traffic free, well organised and great value.

In short: exalent instent response when i contected them
In full: We loved the atmosphere and the scenery a bit shocked at the amount of hill that there were, we were told that it was flat with one or 2 small hills, but we loved it and will be back god willing next yr, looking forward to it.

In short: Lovely scenery, not bad for beginners
In full: This was my first proper 5K race, and I didn't feel too daunted. I was near the back, but went at my own pace. There's some slight hills that are tricky for the beginner, but overall I enjoyed this.

In short: Excellent 10km trail race. Nice and undulating.
In full: Great 10km, quite scenic running through the trees. I loved the ups and downs of the course. I'll be back next year for sure.

In short: Too many niggles to be good
In full: Some of the distance markers ( if not all ) were iffy. 5 mins 20 secs to 1st and 4 mins 8 secs to 2nd. I don't think so. Thought £11 for a malted milk biscuit was a bit steep
