In short: Fantastic Event for First Timer
In full: This was my first 10K 'event'. I have been an avid 5K runner for years now, and frequently enjoy resistance (weights) training. I thought that signing up for this would prove a real challenge. I was correct. The hilly nature of the run was very challenging, which made the finish line so very rewarding! The organisation of the event was very good and the atmosphere very friendly. This event has made my weekend and given me the confidence to up my running distance from 5K to 10K and change my training to increase the distance. This event has made my weekend and given me such a buzz!

In short: There is not a single flat section - its all up and down, so train for hills or feel the pain. Fantastic views if you can lift your head.
In full: Lots of really good runners take part so if, like me, you are doing 10k in about an hour, then prepare to watch them flying past on their way back as you head past the 3km marker on the way out! Great local support to cheer you to the finish - but do not underestimate the constant hills especially from 7km to the end!
