In short: Great Christmassy Run!
In full: Thanks to all involved in this race. The hill was a toughie (although nothing after doing Beachy Head earlier in the year!) but the course was really pretty and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Santa medal and a pud as prizes were great, and mince pies and wine afterwards - lovely although I was driving so I couldn't have the wine :)
Only one thing, there was a delay at the start of about 20min while the kids race ran where I got very cold. But otherwise a great race, thanks!

In short: what a great way to start Xmas- fantastic atmosphere and a lot of funn
In full: wasn't sure what to expect, and the hill through the woods was more than I was expecting. But loved it - good challenge, well organised and most of all a lot of fun in a relaxed atmosphere. Can't wait to do it again next year

In short: Some organisational problems, but very enjoyable, great atmosphere, fantastic countryside / grounds.
In full: Good fun, great atmosphere, etc. Some confusion: finish line wasn't clear - I had to ask whether I was at the finish or not! My son, doing the 1-lap fun run had the same problem and carried on for ages after the finish. But definitely an enjoyable event, and I'm sure the problems will be sorted for next year.

In short: Fantastic race!
In full: This was a really great race. Although tough in places, trudging through mud really added to the enjoyment. Would recommend this race to anyone who enjoys a break from the 'norm'! :)
