In short: Better than I remembered it
In full: A classic event. Marvellously linked to local village fete and flower show so something for all the family. Great organisation and marshalls with runners of all abilities willing to pass on advice to all. Although course the same this year as last sure that a couple more hills have grown but still took 3 minutes off last years pb. Defo back in 2009.

In short: Great little race
In full: I was pleasantly surprised by this race. A friend said I should come along and give it a go and dispite it being an unusual distance, it was great. Other than the small gate right at the beginning which caused a minor hold up (why not start the race in the field), it was really well organised with great marshalls and a groovy polo style medal.
