In short: Forget the Sales, this is what Boxing Day is made for!
In full: Great little run to blow away the previous days over indulgence.

Almost all the runners ran in fancy dress which added to the atmosphere. Fantastic marshals, cheap entry fee with soup and roll included and free parking. The course wasn't the most scenic, however you did pass the finish after 3 miles, so if you really had overdone it the day before you could always drop out early!!

Forget the hustle and bustle of the dreaded sales, escape the family for an hour or two and give this a try in your best fancy dress outfit, 10/10.
