In short: Good organisation, nice location & great goody bag
In full: Good pooints = Great goody bag with decent t-shirt, matching water bottle & hi-viz arm/leg bands.
Not so good = Rather warm, surprising short sharp hills, & would have preferred one lap, rather than doing one, then knowing what you have to come on the 2nd, but this is a personal preference.

In short: A well organised, well marshalled family event with an excellent goody bag
In full: This is the first time I've done this race and I really enjoyed it. The location was lovely with good facilities and the event was well organised.
There is a two mile fun run and there are also races for smaller children after the main events. My five year old nephew really enjoyed being able to join in.
A great event, I will certainly be back next year and my nephew probably will be too.
