In full: A lovely race through the forest. A few hills but nothing too bad. Great support and organisation. Well done for chip timing. Could of done with an extra drinks station but still a brilliant event and very friendly. Support from Haribo sweets too and a bottle of lucozade/medal at the end.

In short: A really well organised event which will have me coming back for years!
In full: Never done this 1/2 before and found it to be well worth the trip. Good facilities at HQ once I found it, plentry of room to warm up. The first 5 miles seemed uphill all they way with a few flat bits in between. After that it was a great run through the forest trails with a nice downhill finish. Would recommend this run to anyone
