In short: An event billed as fun - and was fun.
In full: Worth every penny. £15 race entry entitled runners to a tee-shirt, race medal, and goody bag. The goody bag, in addition to the usual mix of food and drink, included a pedometer, a nice drink bottle and a pen.

In short: Wonderful Race. Organisation. PB Potential. Goody Bag
In full: Although this perhaps is seen as more of a Charity Event rather than a Road Race I found this race to be wonderful, a real mix of people and with the added incentive of catching human bananas.... a PB was on the Cards and I got mine.
Very Fast Course, Well Supported in a wonderful location. Marshalling and drinks points were spot on, so a massive thank you to those guys.
Definitely be back again next year, Goody Bag was excellent.
Perfect Race. Well Done.
