In short: A fairly easy 5 miles course with only mild inclines.
In full: A good race if you want to keep the extra calories at Xmas at bay ! Parking and changing facilities are good and well attended by various clubs. Perhaps not the most scenic of routes although part of it is through a small park. Venue is easy to reach and overall not bad for £10 - race times are on the clubs website within 24hrs.

In short: "Ronseal" race - does what it says on the tin
In full: Great race to test the winter form and a good hard workout on traffic free roads. Very well organised by the promoting club, plenty of marshalls, mile markers, traffic free route. More of a club runners event but I guess that's the appeal of it.
