In short: Really entertaining particularly the off road bits! But what a head wind...
In full: Really lovely scenery and alot of fun as the course changes from road to gravel to off-road and back again. Actually made me laugh as I was running. I wasn't quite expecting the head wind to be as strong as it was on the last 5k and at times it can feel like you're running just to stay stationary but I still got a PB - must have been the tail wind for the first 5k that helped me...

In short: challenging race!
In full: Id definitely recommend running a slow first 5k on this one, as the way back is definitely tougher and very windy! good race tho, only criticism was i was unsure which way to go in one or 2 places so maybe the odd extra sign or marshall needed, but really enjoyed it overall...

In short: A flat there and back course, PB potential but only if the wind is not strong as it will be in your face for the last 5K! I would do it again.

In short: Fun, Friendly, and windy!
In full: Great, flat "out and back" course. Be prepared for some determined wind on the last 5K and enjoy the scenery!

In short: Flat and fairly fast with varied terrain
In full: Promenade, gravel and some bumpy off-road bits - but O.K. for road shoes.
