In short: Fantastic run and great atmosphere
In full: Had a great time. The general mood was uplifting. Great flat course for beginners or for a PB. So funny seeing so many santas in one place. The warm up was fab. All in all a really fun morning...also loved that it was on a Saturday so you could celebrate in the pub afterwards with no fear of work the next day. Well organised too...only suggestion would be to give out goodie bags with medals as there was a long queue for water and granola bars at the end. Excellent way to start the weekend though. Much fun!

In short: Good fun, and a good way to raise money for charity
In full: The dancing before the run was great fun, we would have got there sooner if we'd have known.
It was a lot of fun despite the three of us having hangovers from hell due to being out drinking till 2am (note I'm not on here to endorse my way of life!).
Will be there again next year.
Oh and the weather was excellent for December.

In short: Great event, well organised and loads of fun. Fast flat course with the only problem being how to swerve the slower runners on the 2nd lap. Will run again next year for sure. Well done to organisers.

In short: Lovely race with good vibes
In full: I truly enjoyed this race and being the second time of doing it and getting a PB out of it was truly rewarding for me. My daughter loved it and was taking pictures of everyone. Thanks to the guys dressed as raindeers as you guys made my daughters day as well as all the santa's.
