In short: Great Run
In full: Beautiful run at Croome Park. Muddy and wet underfoot, definitely not a PB course, but the delightful scenery, hills and competition was enough to keep you going.
Definitely needs a loudspeaker for the pre race brief, and a medal might have been nice at the end, but an excellent race nonetheless - well done Black Pear Joggers!

In short: A bit of everything. Very enjoyable.
In full: I am something of an off road novice, so was not sure what to expect from the day, but to me this seemed to be a very well thought out course. We had hills, flat, mud, water, wooden bridges , woods and yes, even some cattle joined in :-) . yet nothing was over the top, just enough to be challenging. Goody bag was good, maybe a little keepsake medal would be nice. Very hospitable and overall a great day. Well done and thank you.

In short: Excelent first off road race
In full: First time I've run off road and there was just enough hills, mud, water, woodland and gravel to get a flavour of everything. I've been to Croome many times but never realised quite how many hidden gems were out there.

In short: Great Autumn race in beautiful scenery
In full: A great run this one. Well organised for a first time race, well done Black Pear Joggers. I really hope you get permission to do it again next year.
A bit of mud, a bit of water, some grass and some woodland. A bit of something for everyone.
