In short: A race for everyone, lots of fun and no bullsh*t
In full: I really enjoyed this course, its challenging because of the hill but flat in mostly so you can really get a move on.

In short: Although i had to drop out after two laps due to injury, i thought it was excellent again just like the May race which i finished in a PB. Pies, Pasties, and Beer on offer after the race with some of the best facililties ive seen at a race.

In short: A great eye-opener
In full: Only completed one other race and that was the recent Liverpool L13/10K, of which I did the 10K.

There were some fast runners there looking at the results on the club's website. The hill wasn't as bad as I thought it could have been. Great facilities and ample parking. Friendly crowd.
