In short: Boy was it wet and a nice hill at 1km, thanks!
In full: nice village on a very wet day and the race was ok too. killer hill at 1km was a joy. but helped on the way back on this out&back route. nice tea and brownie back at the school, plus a PB on the day very wet but happy.

In short: charming race from a lovely village- well done Manuden
In full: shame about the weather, but at least it wasnt hot, and for those who brought a towel and dry clothing no real problem.
Much better venue and the hot food and drinks much appreciated.
As to the race itself, 1st 3k up means last 3k down, hurra for a "thereandbackagain" and an easy finish!!

In short: Look Forward to 2009
In full: Pouring rain and difficult conditions but then again, that's part of the challenge, isn't it? A really great spirit among the racers, good organisation and a challenging course in beautiful countryside made this race great fun. The course is there and back - the first 5k follows the road between the village of Manuden and Rickling Green, before a short run on a forest track prior to the turn home. Undulating, with some steep inclines, but overall a fair course. Winning time was in the 39 min category - from good runners - so it's not a PB course, but satisfying to complete.
