In short: Very friendly & welcoming
In full: I have only been running for 7 months, mostly on my own & this was my first race of any distance. The organisers and marshalls where very welcoming and put me at ease. I did find the course challenging and finished somewhere near the back but that was to be expected given my lack of experience. Very good value for money.

In short: A great race!
In full: This was my first competitive 10k and first time on trails too. I'm a relative beginner runner, found it challenging but loved it! Great for the experienced runners too. Well organised, friendly marshals, great atmosphere. Thanks very much A&T.
