In short: Very up and down. The scenery is a bit samey: lots of pine trees! But loads of encouraging cadet marshals.
In full: Did this race last 4 years ago. Disappointed that the start and finish are no longer in front of the grand country house. Running the same route for the first couple and last couple of miles is a bit boring. Bag pipes midway into the run were a novel touch. The cadet marshals were great and everyone was giving out words of encouragement. Sadly, I didn’t have enough energy to acknowledge them!

In short: Gentelay undulating all very runable
In full: One of the dryest years I have done it (prefer it wetter) the marshals were wounderfull and all bar 2 of the caddets were offering encoragement. The only slight issue was the lack of water at the finish. I will be back with hopefully more water every where (especialy on the course)
