In full: This is a great race for beginners if the weather is not too hot like today. The gates at the beginning and the fact that the route has lots of single file paths mean that if you are look for a PB you are unlikely to get it.

In short: Really pretty run, well-organised. I loved it apart from hitting the wall at 10 miles and crawling over the line!

In short: A toughie, but good.
In full: well organised local race with a good mix of runners from club to beginners. Glorious scenery, great marshalling - one to do again. The only gripe was the baggage reclaim - the poor guy had no idea and it was a disaster getting your kit back.

In short: Thought it would be faster - but really enjoyed it anyway!
In full: The day was perfect - the weather was ideal. Thought the course was PB worthy - but just a few too many obstacles - cow pies, tree stumps, stairs, for me. Loved it anyway - will definitely be there next year!
