In short: Very well organised again. Brilliant
In full: The Wife nad Son both did the fun run which they both enjoyed nad got a lovely medal and goodie bag. The bacon butty and coffee for a £1 is excellent. As for the main 10k race same course as previous years but drier this year with only some slippery / muddy sections through the woods. No rain this year as well made a very pleasant end to the race with runners and families all over beamish halls front lawn. T shirt and goodie bag was again brillinat and very good value for money. The grass had been cut nice and short and plenty of very friendly marshalls all around the course. Great morning out and thanks must go to all the helpers and staff at Beamish. The tram is great fun for the spectators and my youngest son really enjoyed watch the runners struggle to beat the tram. We will all return again next year. Brilliant.

In short: pace yourself
In full: i began the run full of energy as your guilded round the same route twice which is not very challenging and became a bit boring little did i know the 5k that was left was very hilly in long sections with lovley views of durham countryside all the marshalls were very encouraging all in all great day and look forward to next year
