In short: A challenging 2 laps with a great Country feel
In full: This was my first ever race so a PB for me but it's not to be attempted without any hill work having been done. 2 very challenging hills that saw the majority of the beginners walk only to be repeated on lap 2. Friendly and well orginised, a nice senic run taking you around the outskirts of the American Adventure Theme Park. Very family friendly.

In short: Great race - good atmosphere, great scenery. Very hot!!
In full: First time I have done this race. Thought the location was lovely and the organisation and marshalling spot on.

It was incredibly hot though which meant a very tough and fairly slow second lap!

Good to get a mug rather than the usual t-shirt.

will definitely be back next year.

In short: Nice Friday Night Run!
In full: Atmosphere was spot on, shame the route didn't take us anywhere near the nicer parts of Shipley park but nice marshalls/support. Achieved a new PB at this here! :)
