In short: Bargain, A nice little start to a sunday morning, sneaky hills though, feels like you are running up hill more than down hill, have to get some extra hill work done before next year

In short: fun 10k with a great friendly atmosphere
In full: enjoyable 10k thats friendly enough for beginners but also a bit of a challenge for the more seasoned runner.

not the most scenic, but was more focused on looking where i was going and not what was around me.

nice tshirt and chip timing a bonus :)
