In short: Challenging course in beautiful setting
In full: This out and back course takes you steadily downhill for the first 2K, which of course means that you climb steadily uphill after the turn-around point, with a lap of the manor house to finish with. If - like me - you thrive on hills, it's just perfect! And even if hills aren't your favourite thing, there's plenty of glorious scenery for distraction. The setting is perfect, and organisation is great. Well worth the drive out - a lovely way to spend a weekday summer evening.

In short: Another good evening with VOAAC
In full: Nice venue, nice organisation and nice weather. Amazed myself with an unexpected PB so that was nice too!
As there are so few 5Ks on the calendar, I like to make the effort when there is one so close to home, and the weekday summer evening scheduling of this one makes it ideal.
This event was my first club run 2 years ago. Having done a few more since I'd recommend this as an ideal first time race.
