In full: The race was good, not one for a PB. However, the scenery is lovely. One corner in particular was very muddy and boggy, best not to wear your best running trainers! There were no medals or t-shirts at the end. Overall, I enjoyed & hope to do it again next year!

In short: A nice evening out in the summer
In full: Don't forget the insect repellant, especially after rain or when it's warm

In short: FOREST MAGIC!
In full: Evening running through swinley forest couldn't be better even with a little rain! Loved the slurry at mile 4. Fast straights, fast finish. One to definately put in the diary for next year.

In short: I've done this 6 times and never tire of it
In full: Lovely evening race in beautiful woods. Nice downhill finish and lots of friendly marshalls. A bit muddier than usual, but it all adds to the fun.
