In short: Very good for the whole familly.
In full: Easy to find, easy to park, nice toilets, cafe, playpark next to the start, multi laps good for spectators and plenty of marshalls, all in all not too bad at all! Very soft course as well, nice on the joints.
Water at the finish would have been nice, maybe there was and I missed it.

In short: Fun, well organised race in pleasant surroundings. More hilly than "undulating"!
In full: Pleasant and well organised, but significantly harder than expected with a number of challenging inclines, and regions of soft sand underfoot. Few muddy holes and tree roots as pre-warned, but then you are running in a forest! Still managed a PB but then I'm relatively new at this. Only real criticism is lack of timer at the end, so not sure what my time is (hoping it is published soon).
