In short: Beginners welcome
In full: This year will be my 4th attempt, having missed last year I'm looking forward to this year.
I'm a 39 year old fun runner and found the first year rather daunting standing with all the club runners. If there are any fun runners out there don't be put off. EVERYONE is so supportive, both runners and marshalls. I've always found the other runners will always try and help you round during the times your legs just don't want to carry on. Thoroughly recommend this one, great friendly people entering, great route and great organisation. PB are also achievable - gone from 2hrs 20 to 1hr 59 over the years.

In short: very good run, nice weather, got my PB.
In full: A station nearer by would have been nice as a bit of a pain to without a car.

In short: This figure of eight course is not only good for runners, it's an excellent course for non-running supporting friends and family. Excellent organisation. Good all round atmosphere.
