In full: Great little 5k to burn up some of that Christmas day food!

Route was a couple of laps around Aylesbury so the scenery wasn't too picturesque but the atmosphere in the town was good. Lots of turns & a few cobbled street sections so may not be a PB course but there wasnt a huge field of runners so it didn't get too crowded.

Bargain price & a brilliant medal plus a handy location make this a great little race.

In short: Well organised race, though the cobbled bits are a bit slippy.
In full: A good race to just turn up and have a go. Undulating course that goes through the best bit of the town centre, cobbled streets (not much of that though). Useful to have race hq and facilities in the pub. A swift half before the race does wonders.
