In short: A good way to spend Boxing Day morning!
In full: Quite a few 'gentle' ups and downs. Everyone was really friendly and chatty, and that definitely helped me round! No toilets near the start, but as it's only 5 miles it didn't really matter. It left us feeling very virtuous!

In short: Nice race! needs to be chipped with world record attempt and top club runners (Not me!!!)
In full: With a world record attempt from one runner, this race needs to be chipped. I know a lot of runners were attempting PBs. Some really good club runners, supported the need for this (not me!!) with the times these guys and girls were doing supports this comment. Great day with great scenary and plenty of marshalls and support from locals I really enjoyed. Excellent parking and organisation, will be doing it again next year!!!!!!!!!!!
