In short: Definitely breathtaking!
In full: Firstly thank you to Lord and Lady Digby for allowing us to run around their lovely estate. This is a new race and personally I thought it was very good. The hill “burn” at the start was hard but after that the course levelled out more evenly with one or two tricky declines to negotiate. The course went through the surrounding countryside (past the famous giant) and the last kilometre was through the estate’s ornamental gardens. The cakes and doughnuts at the end were a nice touch. A well organised race that was as hard as you wanted to make it.

In short: Brilliant, Great fun and just challenging enough!
In full: Excellent Race, completely offroad which was great, none of that nasty tarmac stuff! After the first killer hill, the route was fairly flat or gently undulating, so not too scary for beginners. Small problem at one point where lack of marshalls meant a lot of people went the wrong way despite signage, but it all evened out in the end as they had a more difficult descent and was still a great run. Given that this was the first running of this event, this was a minor detail and the doughnuts and cakes at the end more than made up for it! marshalls were encouraging, start and finish at Minterne House was great backdrop, and the views from the top of the hill were fantastic. Definitely one for next year!
