In short: Great Run but a killer
In full: This was my first attempt at a non "mass market" event such as the Manchester 10k. When we entered didnt quite realise where Langley was and thought it would be a standard 7 miles. What a shock i had about 2 miles in when we started to climb a "mountain!!" so be warned. I now Drink my tea every morning out of the commemorative cup to remind me of the pain going up.
Anyway had a great day, it was a great event and the hills inspired me to do the Snowdonia Marathon this year!

In short: Well worth the drive out, wish I had got there earlier to drive the course. Friendly crowd, gorgeous views fom 3 mile on, through sweat stung eyes, definately would do this again after some intense hill training.

In full: Great race, good organisation, amazing views, helpful and friendly encouragement from marshalls (and fellow runners), and the occasional never ending hill. Highly recommended.
