In short: One of the best 5ks in the UK!
In full: 2nd time for me and now definitely one of my favourite races. Great Village atmosphere, great crowd support, great marshalling and a medal to boot, all for a fiver!
Medium challenging course and my only concern would be the younger runners starting at the front. I felt I lost about 10 seconds trying to get past them but this was only a small gripe compared to the overall success that this race is.

In short: Excellent family orientated race.
In full: Great village atmosphere for this race with a great location. Is undulating, so is not a PB race. Ends in the local pub afterwards for the trophy awards. Couldn't believe for such a small race, medals were given out to all participants. Will do again. Great warm-up watching the youngsters finishing the fun run first. Very mixed age / ability race.
