In short: Great run in the woods, all abilities made very welcome.
In full: Great to be able to run in the woods every week, which I might not fancy on my own. Very friendly crowd, of all ages and running ability. No need to worry you'll be last - you might be, but you won't be alone!

In short: What a great race, organised by volunteers and provided for free.
In full: I've done Bushy Park - it's big now by comparison with this one - nearly 300 people. I loved this - it was challengine but great fun, with a smaller field, all off-road and as with all the TT family races, brilliantly organised and friendly.

In short: Best 5k in the UK(TT)!
In full: Brilliant course, sheltered from all the elements whatever time of year, hard enough to challenge whatever level but with easy bits too, everyone has someone to chase, good multi terrain underfoot and accurate markers. All levels of runner, from elite athletes to people just starting out or in the twilight of their career. All ages from 7 to 70. Dogs too - on leads. Virtually hazard free running, apart from the occasional tree root. Very friendly volunteers and local hostelry with wonderful cappuccinos - great social event too. 9 am a very accessible time for everyone, leaving the whole day free for families and fun.

In short: FANTASTIC and the website would put many expensive races to shame..
In full: This is now a regular event for me, I thoroughly enjoy it. Being a non runner, I never felt I would beat my time the following week, but all the proper runners are very helpful and full of advice. The website is amazing, with photos and results showing your history etc. Throughly recommend it.
