In full: An unusual event - it is suprising that in the dark there is a total misconception of speed.
This is one that any runner should experience both for the fun aspect and the charity.
The lights from the headtorches around the lake were both and atmospheric and magnificent.

In short: Superb atmosphere and venue
In full: This was the 2nd year doing the event and I really hope it becomes an even bigger event. Fantastic atmosphere and great location - flat as a pancake and you can practice the whole route more or less every day of the year.

In short: Great fun for getting into the spooky spirit for Halloween
In full: The course is flat as a pancake all the way round the lake, just a few teeny hills off the main route. Had to contend with stiff breeze on full length of one side of the lake, the route is two laps so the second run into the wind was pretty tough! Aside from the route, the race was brilliant for getting into spooky mood, loads of runners in fancy dress. Slight jumble at the start with the warm-up but everyone in good mood so it didn't matter. The dark was fun, seeing lots of bobbing headlamps across the water. And along with some Halloween style music blaring from loud speakers near the start/finish, there was an owl screeching somewhere along the route. No PB for me, but pleased with my time of 1hr 3m considering my state of over-dress! will be back next year.

In short: Nice run - bit different
In full: This was the first time I'd done this race and I really enjoyed it. The t-shirt you get is a proper running tshirt, which was good. The kids loved the children's fun run! The course was v flat but there was quite a strong wind on the return to the start/finish. Lots of marshalls. The only thing I can moan about was the timing. The main race was 15min late starting but it was only because they'd had more ppl registering on the day than they thought so I can't grumble too much because it means more cash for the charity!
