In short: Great race for all abilities with good PB potential. Weather uninspiring but it stopped raining for race. Managed sub 23 min PB and beat the dog.

In short: Enter early next year as this race will get bigger !
In full: Perfect event for me as have had several years away from racing due to injury so appreciated the limited numbers and numerous non-club runners.

Nice easy run as flat, very well organised and excellent marshalling.

Organisers should be proud and we may even get some sunshine next year.

In short: Great race, well organised, flat course. I will be back next year.
In full: Well marshalled, enjoyable 2 lap run of Gloucester park. Finishing on the athletics track. A good mix of abilities present. Medal for all finishers.

The dull weather on the day allowed me to get a decent PB for my first 5k race.

In short: Weather may have been rubbish but got my pb!!!!
In full: Thanks to everyone who was involved in the race. Well organised, great prizes (for the fast bunnies!). Nice to see a good mix of people - and dogs!

Still overly chuffed at getting sub-23 mins and wiping 20 secs off my pb!
