In short: A very good evening race
In full: This was my 3rd time at this event.The start is always a bit of a squeeze but once you get the first Km out of the way its fine.A pity that the memento has been taken away.

In short: Brilliant race, would recommend to all standards
In full: Some how I managed to knock over 3 minutes off my time from last year and get a PB, although you would not normally consider this to be a PB course.

Got to be alert to hear the starter, could do with an air horn.

No better location for a run

In short: Great race, apart from my hayfever kicking in!!
In full: This is now a regular race for me, as great off road run but not really being off road!
Great support and marshalls, but same man seemed to be at finish as last year, not as pyhsical as last year but still very vocal, shouting at people to keep in order and keep moving, yes, once in teh finish funnel you should keep in order and keep moving, but this is hardly the olympics!
Another great tre sapling, but has the recession hit this run too?, prev runs there was also a momento -bookmark / medal / coaster in previous years. - but no complaints - still a great evening race

In short: Great run through the woods, pretty flat only one small hill. The start this year is a little congested
In full: Great race off road on paths, dont need off road shoes, PB potential. The start was a bit tight on the road and a squeeze through the gate with over 600plus people. A tree for all great idea much better than a tee shirt. Will do again

In short: Cant beat this race for the location and route,well organised.
In full: This is a great race for a summers evening. Always a pleasure to run through the trees with no traffic. Perfect conditions this year so good times were achieved by many participants.

In short: A definite fixture in my calendar
In full: Having been a whisker over 50 minutes last year, I just had to come back. Managed to get round in 44:26, and haven't been able to stop grinning since.
