In short: Tough underfoot but great to know your supporting a great charity
In full: The course is i'd say 80% off road so this was tough going. A cheeky hill at about half way. No k markers which made it frustraing. A medal, drink of water and a kitkat greeted you at the end. Race results were displayed straight away with lots of prizes given; up to 3rd place in each age category were awarded. Local radio were there, bouncy castle for kids, plenty of toilets and parking making it a good and enjoyable run!

In short: Fantastic trail race and fun run in a fantastic setting. Take the family and a picnic and make a day of it! Only thing that needs improving is the very, very poor km markers. Other than that - perfect!

In short: Great mixed terrein 10k
In full: Great mixed terrain 10k, first time i've raced off road since school cross country!
The distance markers could do with being larger/clearer though, I only saw one! Made it difficult to know how long was left.
1 water station at halway (i think!!)
Overall a great race, and will be back next year!

In short: Lovely location and great atmosphere.
In full: My first 10K and I was not disappointed, atmosphere was great and although the course was not flat the hills were nothing to worry about. The pleasant weather meant that the off-road sections were dry. Marshalls were very helpful and encouraging.
