In short: low key but good race
In full: Overall well run and enjoyable except for two things. Firstly the turn into the field at the end needs to be sorted out as it is a real problem if you have a few people arriving together. Secondly, the day was slightly tarnished by the inexplicable wait for the presentation. Do people really need to be made to hang around for an hour an a half after finishing, in such a small low key race? This was particularly annoying as the fun run's advertised encouraged you to bring young children who then got bored hanging around. On the positive side, the agility test was a nice touch and the cakes were fantastic (and cheap)!

In short: Very welcoming
In full: As I was the first fancy dress in the 8 years of this race, I was made to feel very welcome, even by the die hard runners.
Great organisation, friendly people and great marshalls made it a wonderful day.
