In short: Great race for beginners and excellent organisation
In full: This is the second year I've done this race with my wife, last year being our 1st proper race. Organisation good and racing track surface excellent for running. Wide range of abilities, would suit a beginner.

In short: lovely 5K
In full: Lovely friendly 5K. Not very challenging - some uphills and wind on straight was "interesting". Well organised and gave me a chance to improve on my 5k time this year. worth trip "over border" from Warwickshire!

In short: OK race and well organised but nothing special
In full: Although Mallory Park is a motor racing circuit it is very short at around 1km. As a result the race began with a clockwise circuit, followed by a loop around Kirkby Mallory village before a final anticlockwise loop around the circuit. There were a couple of moderate climbs so its not mega fast, plus the wind this year made pb's less likely. I found it a bit boring to be honest, but inoffensive and reasonable value for a good cause. Two pairs of socks inscribed with the race name was a nice touch. Course was well marshalled. Overall ok, probably better suited to newcomers.
