In short: Really well organised event - well worth entering.
In full: Excellent event - great value for money and impeccable organisation. Good course, with enough challenges to make it testing. Strongly recommended.

In short: Challenging but Worth the Money
In full: My first ever timed 10km event. The hills made for a real challenege for someone who trains enitrely on the flat, however it was really worth it.

The local people and the scenery made it worth it and our kids really enjoyed the 100m dash.

In short: A few challenging hills for a beginner like me, but well worth it!
In full: Really enjoyed this race, very welcoming and friendly. Uphills at the beginning of the race were pretty tough going, but the long downhill near the end was brilliant!

In short: Scenic, well organised race on narrow lanes with road closures makes for a good event. The first mile all uphill puts paid to PB chances however.
