In short: A well organised event with a good atmosphere and a great scenic route.
In full: This was my third 10k and it was very enjoyable. The hill proved to be challenging on the second lap but the flat finish to the course allows you to finish strong. I finished with a PB and feel it is certainly a course for quick times if you’ve thrown in some hill training. Definitely one I will be doing next year!

In short: A scenic and well organised race
In full: This is the first time I did this race, and it was a last minute decision and am so glad I ran this beautiful, scenic but challenging course.
The atmosphere was famtastic especially the 2 guys as you turned the corner onto the grss for the finish. Having 2 x water stations was a good idea too. Definetley will be back next year.

In short: A challenging and well organised race for a great cause
In full: This is a 2 lap course and starts off with a fairly tough uphill climb for the first 1k or so (and therefore you do it again between 5k and 6k) That aside it is a flat and comfortable course with beautiful surrounds, lots of support and good marshalling. This is a well organised and well established race and I'll be back again.
