In short: FANTASTIC and the website would put many expensive races to shame..
In full: This is now a regular event for me, I thoroughly enjoy it. Being a non runner, I never felt I would beat my time the following week, but all the proper runners are very helpful and full of advice. The website is amazing, with photos and results showing your history etc. Throughly recommend it.

In short: So good I've done it twice!
In full: A little daunting for a relative newbie runner looking at all the fast fit bods at the start, and with the talk of how tough the course is, but very friendly and welcoming nonetheless!Lovely woodland scenery, great organisation and encouraging volunteers, and only one bloomin great hill!
Also excellent feedback with all the results, stats and photos available gratis from the website.
