In short: do the parkrun on a Saturday twice instead and save your money
In full: the race was fine - bit like parkrun x 2!! expensive for what was delivered. Very disappointed with the cheap medal and t-shirt. Why are there only ever large t-shirts?? and cheap cotton - really? why do either of those things. Don't tell me it is impossible to predict what size t-shirts are required - top tip.... ask on the entry form. Like a LOT of the runners I am female and small so there was no point in taking a shirt so didn't. £11 is cheaper than many races but is £11 for very little

In short: Good try - but must try much harder!
In full: Good point? The setting is glorious!
Bad points? nearest toilets to start were locked. Marshalls all seemed like they wanted to be somewhere else. long wait to collect numbers. long wait to get t-shirt. Tesco of the race world? more like Primark!.

In short: No distance markers except at 6k, Marshalls or welcome wasn't particularly enthusiastic. There is a 10k in the same park one week later which is cheaper. I would ditch the t shirt and medal for a lower fee. Nice scenery, and a fast course.
