In short: Excellent family friendly atmosphere In full: My kids (age 11 & 9) enjoyed this race, which was their first. The work out before the race was a nice touch especially for the young ones. The course was a touch narrow in places, but we will run again. Date of review: July 1, 2005

In short: Nice race I enjoyed it In full: I used to do a bit of running years ago but this was my first 10k. It was a hard and varied course for a first run but it was enjoyable. I will do it again. Date of review: June 28, 2005

In short: A fun race, but no way a PB race! In full: There are some tricky hills through the woods, and some very frustrating single-file areas, making overtaking impossible.
The atmosphere is good though, and it certainly tests new muscles up some steep hills. Definately worth a trip if you're local. Date of review: June 28, 2005

In short: Great run on a really nice course. Well organised and the whole family welcome In full: I think the course takes you on pretty much every surface except sand so quite a challange if you have only done road running. Really nice run and enjoyed every minute. Really friendly atmosphere or maybe I just waffle and people are too polite to tell me to shut up. Will definately be back next year.
