In short: A nice variety of woodland, field and road made for a fun and interesting 10k.
In full: The previously poor weather had made the woodland sections rather boggy and hazardous which to me made it live up to its name as the dash. A lot of club runners with few apparent non affiliated runners. Nicely organised, easy parking, friendly atmosphere and well signed. Thanks!

In short: confusing
In full: Many people got lost, I personally did 8.8k my friends only ended up doing 5k. I overheard seasoned runners saying they too were lost. Think the organisers were overwhelmed by the on the day entries, but they coped admirably. It was the first ever race and they did well but better sinage is definitely needed.

In short: Well organised, interesting course
In full: Received very thorough details before, the day went very well and the run was interesting through fields, woodland, road & heathland. I don't think it was quite 10k though maybe 8.8.
