In full: Very well organised with a variety of surfaces including tow path, grassy field, dirt track, 3 stiles, stone steps and a very short section on concrete footpath. Excellent place prizes, a goodie bag, spot prizes and a friendly atmosphere. The cake stall (all in the aid of charity) is worth a visit too. For those with small children, there is plenty of grassy space for them to play around safely in whilst you run, so suitable if you are bringing family. I will definitely be doing it again.

In short: Most fun I've had at a race in a long time!
In full: This was a really fun race.
I parked up about 2 minutes before the race was due to start (sat nav had a temper tantrum!) The marshals were really nice and got me to the start line.
All through the race they were great. I dont think I've ever come across such enthusiastic volunteers - they were so encouraging!
The route was lovely - a mix of road, canal pathway and forest paths. Challenging climbs in places but a good mixture of up/down/flat.
The goody bag was nice. A t-shirt would have been good, maybe next year?
Overall, it was a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning and I'd definitely do it again.
