In full: looking at houses worth more than you'll earn in a lifetime is just one of the attractions here. tough old course but worth it. gripe = why have a chip if no chip start. chip time the whole thing or just save the cash.

In short: Great organisation - watch that hill though!
In full: Second time I've run this. Managed a PB but if only I'd set off a little slower early on. Climbing over the golf club isn't as easy as you'd expect. My two kids (5 and 7) enjoyed the earlier under 10 races too. Definitely back again next year.

In short: Really well organised and a great event for the family to come along to. A really nice course, i went off probably a bit too fast and paid for it a bit on that endless hill but got a second wind and managed a PB. Overall really enjoyed the event.e

In short: Well-organised, family friendly run, in great location.
In full: Plenty of parking on arrival, and lots going on for the rest of the family. Very well organised and great atmosphere. The hill is a killer though, but it won't put me off coming back next year! Thanks to the organisers, it's for a very worthwhile cause.

In short: great day out, great route, really good touches with warm-up, funfair, candyfloss..
In full: I will definitely try to do this race next year as I really enjoyed the route through the golf and Moor park residential area. the funfair, bouncy castle, warm-up, complimentary bananas and water added special touches. Thank you very much to the organisers!

In full: Great conditions and very well organised, easy to park. The run was as expected from previous years comments. My thanks to the lady who kept me informed of the time - she finished in 55.10 - a clock at the end would help next year!

In short: Great scenery, the only way you'll get to see the golf course unless you can afford to be a meember. A tough uphill 3.5-5km through the golf course but an enjoyable finish!
