In short: A different type of race
In full: At first i was not very impressed as i hit 3 bottle necks within the first 2km. Then after this single file running for another 2 km. Then as the course started to open up a bit the hill came into play. But as the race went on it started to add to the challenge and i saw the race in a different light. At the end i really enjoyed it and the race momento was my best yet, a glass trophy with runners captured inside designed in glass. I would do this again

In full: Enjoyable... encouraging marshalls, and lots of them too!!... well organised... 3 major bottlenecks for the first 2k though... some single-file running in places. As long as you're not expecting a PB, this is a great race. Special Momento too!!
