In short: Fun family day out
In full: Fun and friendly, with well-organised kids races and entertainment for all. The brass band starts the morning off nicely if you're there early enough and the kids love the bouncy slide, which I have to say could make 3x the money if they wanted to!

The run itself is a scenic loop along some country lanes and footpaths, with a single decent hill at the 5k mark. The downhill final mile was appreciated after that!

All in all a great day out.

In short: 2nd year I've done it & I'll be back next time too!
In full: Very good race/day. One to bring the whole family along.
Only slight down side was the course still being short of the advertised 5m (despite being lengthened this year)...
Recommend trying this one out.

In short: Very friendly, nice route, will be back again next year.
In full: Lovely atmosphere and nice cakes at the end. Couldn't hear what the lady with the loudhailer was saying at the start that seemed to take ages. Nice medal and I think getting a packet of washing powder as the "goody bag" is a first!
