In short: Glorious setting but that uphill start is a killer physically/mentally for part-timers :)
In full: Finishing downhill,with spectacular views either side and the stunning longleat house ahead of you makes this special. BUT you need to be prepared for the steep uphill start..i saw several affiliated runners walking before 1km was up! and you get to do it again at 7.5km...lovely :). Great event though.

In short: A great race - nice hills, fantastic setting
In full: A really enjoyable run, well organised and in a great setting.
I ran with a baby jogger and we both had a great time - even going up the hills!
Would recommend it.

In short: A good challenging course in a great setting
In full: A well organised tough 10 k with a great last 1k to the finish. Excellent prizes for those lucky enough to be in top 10. Entry fee a bit pricy, probably to cover cost of timer chip
