In short: Well organised race over a mildly tough course
In full: It felt like it was almost all uphill(!) Three laps though so it clearly wasn't, must just have been me. Good fast field, friendly, and well organised.

In full: thanks to all for shouts of encouragements, I love the finish going downhill, makes me feel like a "proper runner".This is a run for the casual runner/jogger as well as the club runners.

In short: Very enjoyable trail run
In full: Lovely soft and gravelly surface to run on. Undulating enough to make it interesting but not difficult. Laps made it better for spectators and so more cheering. Results out very quickly, warm welcome in the Miners' Club afterwards. I'd definitely recommend the race. I especially liked the man with the tannoy shouting my name!
