In short: Challenging but highly rewarding and lovely scenic run
In full: Really enjoyed this race and although there were some challenging hills and narrow in some places - the scenery was really lovely. I loved running down the open field at the beginning and seeing a single file of colouful runners! The finish was excellent - great atmosphere and support and felt fantastic to have completed such a fitness challenging course! Will definately be back next year.

In short: Exceptionally well organised and friendly run through mostly pretty countryside.
In full: The organisation of this race is excellent which it had to be given the winding nature of the course.

The organisers really go to town with a great group warm-up, hot dog stand, tombola and even a car wash available to raise funds for the school. This guaranteed good support at the end of the race.

The fun runs were well attended also and well organised.

The course was narrow in places, but that is the nature of running on public footpaths through the woods and fields.
