In short: Who needs flat races?
In full: One sharp hill, one longer hill but fairly flat second half so surprisingly quick. Great food after and no bananas. A guilt-free (well almost) cream scone! Thanks, won't miss it next year.

In short: Glorius but hilly and one of the best post race buffets ever!
In full: Luckily run in a weather window between sleet/snow showers. Lovely course, good organisation. Pacing required due to some very steep hills but last 3 miles of the course were predominantly downhill. Has to be run for the post race buffet which is free to runners and included sandwiches, sausage rolls, cakes and scones, tea or coffee and tunnocks caramel wafers. Yum! My friends and I had a fantastic day here.
