In full: Nice new course but as I ran around with the wife as support and finished near the end of the field I was annoyed there was no water left at the finish

In short: Good run, nice mixture of on road and off road running, a bit quiet, all was going great until the finish line and a bit of a free for all for the goodies, would of been better if you recieved a bag rather than rumaging through cardboard boxes

In short: Great day, Great race.
In full: The original course sneaked a nice long hill about the halfway mark. The new course has a few lung burners, but I suppose its not worth doing if its easy. See you next year.

In short: Well organised, fairly challenging course with one "significant" hill. Well worth doing if you're reasonably local.

In short: A good way to start
In full: My first race for over a year. I chose it deliberately since it wasn't too long or hard. I train around the area frequently so I knew what to expect. A good one for any body doing their first race. More on tarmac than I expected but not too muddy off-road. Good showers afterwards too.

In short: Bargain, A nice little start to a sunday morning, sneaky hills though, feels like you are running up hill more than down hill, have to get some extra hill work done before next year
