In short: Wet & muddy
In full: As previously said very much akin to a cross country race. Left hanging around at the start for 10 mins awaiting the marshalls getting sorted. Overall it was an OK 10km, I've run better & worse.

In short: An event well worth the effort
In full: A wet Sunday did not help as the route was covered in puddles and was muddy in places.The slopes were short and sharp and should not put off any future entrant.Congestion occurred at the start after the first field but after that was OK.One runner was heard to remark that the event was akin to a cross country event - on the day with the awful weather he was not far wrong.
Well worth a coat of looking at!
